Even at $12-1500.00 That is the average yearly allowance for most newbies, I
could not afford it until the kids left. The old pattern days ment pattern
flying. Now we have the SPA, NSRCA , and several others. If all is to servive
they need to get together and have a mag that can be enjoyed and start having
patteren events, We used to have as meny pattern events as scale when it was
afordable. in a nother 10-15 years we will be the SPA and the NSRCA will be no
more. Then what?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">While the $5000k
option exists, it is hardly the norm. There has never been more
selection than there is today. You can get an Ultra-R/C Evolution or
Rock-n-Roll or Icepoint or Aresti III for about $450 or a bit higher for a
Focus, use a $250 engine, $225 header/pipe combo, and digital servos/PCM
receiver (roughly $450) for a total of $1500. You can get a Venus II
and OS AX 120 or YS 110 for much cheaper. There is hardly a
correlation to $$$ spent and actual finished placings in the contest – it
all comes down to practice and knowing your equipment. There is the
Excelleron 90, Explorer 90, and the other .90 plane Eric H did the reviews
on. Anyone of us who has competed should easily be able to provide
examples to new-comers about how the “little” guy can win in precision
aerobatics if they practice and know their
equipment.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I like idea of
smaller planes for practice and convenience. However, there is really
no cost savings in radio setup if you are using a .60 sized model versus a
160 model. The cost savings would be in using a smaller engine and
smaller airframe. In my 7 years of pattern flying its never been
cheaper to get a very good and VERY competitive model in the air than it is
today. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Regarding the
Mini-IMaC class, the quote I heard was, “… mini-MAC thew a party and nobody
showed up.” Pattern may be different though as the “gap” between a
small pattern model and a 2M model is quite small compared to a 60” IMAC
bird and a 120” bird. It might better be served to promote a different
class altogether aimed at the specific “club” flyers of the hosting club for
which they could fly whatever plane they wanted to in any class, and let
them compete against the group or just each other.

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This seems to only
work on the “perception” of “potential new members”. Those same people
can elect to fly whatever they like to get started. I’m sure no CD in
the land would reject a first time flyer just so they can get their feet
wet.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>

.60 2C / .90 4C. I also think that there should be a minimum weight to keep
the hi-tech, high cost, composites at a minimum. I believe that we
would see more manufacturers producing aircraft in this range if there was a
potentially larger – sport flyers – market than just pattern flyers.
The current cost of a maxed out pattern setup of $5000+ is ridiculous. Even
the lowest cost setup is greater than $1K. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>
