[NSRCA-discussion] Pattern addiction

Tue Jun 10 05:27:13 AKDT 2008

Glad you got "hooked" again Jim. You can take the man out of Pattern but you can't take Pattern out of the man. LOL 

  Dope / crack? I think you guys are a little confused. It's more like a bottle of good whiskey or scotch. Or a nice, slow, uh "encounter" with a good looking woman. VBG I hear ya though. I have to fly review airplanes for one of the more popular mag's and no matter how "good" they are, it's always a pleasure to put them away and fly my Pattern bird.

I flew my 38% Columbo Anderson Extra 330, DA 150, Mejzlick 30x12, and this is a “faster” type of IMAC plane and does fly very well.  I’ve flown the current Masters sequence with it several times as my flying partner, Juan, is practicing for the Nats.  Then I took up the Abbra and it is like the wind disappeared.  So, instead of making a couple thousand on a nice sale, as of yesterday I ordered more glow fuel and another YS.  The dope/crack thing is a good analogy for sure!

           Jim that's a good story. You've got to admit that there's just something special about flying a good pattern plane. To me it's like a dope addiction. Glad to hear that you have a feel for it again, Mike

Thanks Emory.  I flew my Abbra for the first time in almost 7 months.

It hadn't left the cradle since return from the December Tangerine.  The

only reason I took it off the cradle was because someone wanted to buy

it.  The buyer should have just drove away from my house with it,

instead of insisting on flying it.  So, I took it off, flew by, 1/2

reverse Cuban, and said, "... sorry, plane is no longer for sale.  Flys

too good."  I was totally amazed - not a click of trim.  It was still in

trim.  Motor ran awesome.  I flew P05 and F07 stuff & a knife-loop for

good measure, since those were the only patterns in my case.  It was a

lot of fun, again.  I expected to be behind the plane after flying a lot

of IMAC (slower) flying planes, but that went away after the first

flight.  You'll see me around again.  

Thanks,

Jim

Hey Jim,

It went pretty well. We had 28 pilots total with some really close  

competition. It was very hot, near 100 degrees, but fortunately wasn't  

humid. Winds were light and varied. Sorry the Miami crew couldn't make  

it up.
