<DIV>As I recall, the informal "Mini Electric Pattern Event" has been held once in Dist I.</DIV>
<DIV>It was created by Ed Alt, and planned for Paradise last year. When weather</DIV>
<DIV>in Paradise wasn't so great, it was rescheduled and flown at Sayre.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again, as I recall, about the only rule was no more battery than a 3 cell, 2100mah LiPo.</DIV>
<DIV>Maybe Ed Alt can weight in here with rule details.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Roy talked with me regarding his concerns about the Brio. His area of concern is principally regarding whether the size of the Brio exceeds the 1 meter limitations required for the Saturday nite mini- contest entry rules. How stringent do we need to be to meet the size limit criteria?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Personally, I would steer away from the Brio 10.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've been flying a small electric Katana from 3DHobbyshop.com that does precision aerobatics fairly well, much better than the Brio 10 IMHO. Also, the Extreme Flight Extra is good. Extreme Flight is coming out with a slightly larger pattern plane (48" span) as well as 3DHobbyShop.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am wondering, which plane would be a good or allowable choice for saturday evening mini pattern in shows like the Pattern in Paradise D1. I am trying to get a head start, I build slow so any suggestions would appreciated. I am thinking something like Brio 10 would be the norm.</FONT></DIV>
