[NSRCA-discussion] A lighthearted request

[J N Hiller]

Much of 'modern pattern' can trace its roots to sound reduction, which I
believe started as bonus points followed by restriction. Turnaround reduced
the footprint. Soft mounts and larger diameter props reduced RPM's and sound
levels.

To the original poster....I'll add another game changer: Merle Hyde's rubber
isolation mount. There were a couple other ideas for isolating engine
vibration from the ever lighter airframes, but none were as viable. I don't
think it's too much of a stretch to say that this invention enabled Pattern
as we know it today.

Of course, E-power has possibly obsoleted the rotational soft mount, but
that development does not detract from the importance of the Hyde soft mount
in Pattern.

Yet another important development was the advent of thin, lightweight balsa
use as core material in composites. The synnergy of glass and balsa turned
out to be just right for model use in this size

Absolutely - that's actually where the term "pattern" came from as
"patterns" were flown in a horizontal plane that depicted 8's, procedure
turns, traffic patterns, etc. with rudder only escapement models.

Now that I have picked myself up off the floor.

I would - seriously - like to ask if Pattern was ever flown with single
channel escapements.

I don't mean to speak for Van Putte, but I'm sure the invention of "air"
ranks pretty high up there.

With the Pattern Nationals at our doorstep, in retrospect, I'll like to hear
what you feel have been some of the pattern equipment "Game Changers" during
the years pass. The biggest one I can think of is proportional radios; but,
this only my second year flying pattern.

Thank you
