[NSRCA-discussion] New AJ 5S 5000 pattern plane

[Atwood, Mark]

We’ve moved past it, but my son Sean used a 62” osiris (2 of them actually) to start out in pattern and won district championships in both Sportsman and Intermediate with one until finally convincing dad to let him fly a 2m plane.    It’s a fantastic beginning design.  Bob Kane flew one in Masters for an entire season somewhat out of necessity, but quite competently.  The only issue with the higher classes was that it took it’s toll on a 5s5000 pack to fly the entire sequence if set up for the required power.    But assuming most will likely fly it in the lower classes, it was the perfect size.   Any smaller and you will start to lose the feel of a slower 2m plane that it emulates so well.

As I said earlier, it's the perfect "gateway" drug.  I started out in pattern with the 62" Osiris on 5s5000s and then moved up to 2M planes, I gave my Osirii to a buddy who is controlling his addiction better than I did (too many family commitments) but his last kid will be off to College this year Mwahahahaha then he'll be addicted too :-)

Ok, all of those interested in a new Andrew Jesky  5s 5000 pattern plane size (a little smaller than 62 inches), how do you intend to use the plane?  Is it for competition or practice?  If competition, then for which classes?

Just curious.
