style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Just think, 30
years ago the average modeler could afford to fly Class III. Of course
if he wanted to he could fly Class I or II. Everyone thought retracts
would cost too much but the average modeler found a way to have them too.
It was a lot of fun with your “every day” plane, one that did not need
to be pampered from lack of use but flown all the time. Remember back
then, you only had one radio and one airplane. The second airplane was
on the bench being built or being “research” so it could be built for next
year. Vintage Pattern or the Senior Pattern Association is trying to
get the average modeler back to pattern but today he has too many choices,
too many roads to be traveled and only so much time. Do you remember
the times when all pattern contests had 50 to 70 entrants? I do.
But I can’t live in the past, too many roads are now open and I’ve got to
have a radio for each pathway. The average modeler wants to try all
the different venues. Again, remember 30 years ago all that was
available was Class I, II, III or Scale. The average modeler just flew
his sport planes be they pattern type or scale. How many of you have
seen a Galloping Ghost airplane fly? But, I digress.
Sorry. Dwayne</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

electric and glow today is nothing like the 2C / 4C gap was in ~1988 (when

by much. Due to an extensive weight-saving building job on his Black Magic
by Mike Hester and John's careful selection and installation of radio,
batteries, ESC, prop, motor, spinner, et al, his airplane is OK with weight,
even in the kind of winds we often see at the Nats. He's thinking about the
guys who can't afford as much $$$ as he has invested in his setup. The
average guy probably can't build an electric-powered 2 meter airplane that
makes weight and is competitive with the kind of budget required for a
glow-powered version of the same airplane. </SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>
