Interested In Pattern?
If your at all interested in pattern or just curious about what it is a good place to start is the NSRCA (National Society of Remote Controlled Aerobatics) web site they have info on what pattern is, what equipment is needed, and how to get started.
What got me started
I've been looking for a new direction for my flying, rather than taking off and just burning holes in the sky, which is fun, I wanted something to force me to practice aerobatics and to learn new maneuvers. I tried IMAC for a while but found that the cost of equipment, size of the aircraft, and space needed didn't fit what I was looking for.
I attended my first pattern meet The Granite State Pattern Primer and although this was not a full blown pattern contest I found it quite interesting and fun. I've joined the NSRCA and am looking foward to attending a few contest in 2007.
I'm building a Sig FourStar 60 with extensive modifications. I have a FourStar 40 which is what I flew in the primer and I did ok. If I decide I don't want to compete in pattern after a season I'll still have a nice sport airplane to fly that didn't cost me an arm and a leg.
