Park Fliers, Mike. No testosterone enhanced pattern flier should even
care. I went to a Park Flier convention once (in a park). You
know what whorederves they served? Tiny wieners and little nuts.<FONT

face=Arial size=2>I find it sick that MA is cutting the pattern column to bi

nothing but park fliers and junk ARFs and useless reviews of said junk.
Please. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>When's the last time you saw a pattern plane on the cover of
MA? I'm thinking....I honestly can't remember. I bet half the people see that
Andy jesky ad and say "whut kinda plane izzat? Does it 3 dee? Don't luk like
no edge..."</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3> </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also find it amusing that in the
latest MA, they are talking about an online magazie and they are going to push
guess what? The new exhilirating rage of R/C....PARK FLIERS!!! Gosh, I just
can't contain myself. I mean, they're ok, they're cute, nothing against them,
but they are cutting pattern out of the picture and replacing it with a
serious push towards PARK FLIERS???? Does this mean the AMA is sick of trying
to help us keep fields and wants everyone to just start flying in the back
yard????</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>And here I thought the AMA pres was an ex-pattern pilot, and
a pretty darned good one in his day. Did someone drop something on his head?

<BR><BR><BR><BR><FONT face=sans size=2>Like Buddy mentioned its the magazines,
not some concerted effort by IMAC to market sportsman. I do not believe I have
ever seen anything from IMAC, but every model mag has either a scale warbird
OR a scale .40 IMAC plane on the cover. Real IMAC planes are ONLY shown on
covers of anything in the hover position, and we all know how important that
is(speaking of that , perhaps someone should mention to the self proclaimed #1
pattern supply place that perhaps a new photo would be in order to appease
us-my personal choice would be of an Aries).</FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT><BR><FONT face=sans size=2>Perhaps a
Pattern marketing effort could help, but "IMAC style" became popular because
the magazines are all in a vicious butt sniffing mode to get out the latest
reveiw of the NEW 60 sized IMAC type ARF-gotta be an ARF or no one will buy it
right? Why this frenzy I have no idea, but it is not IMAC marketing (unless
there is some serious under the table stuff-but I honestly think if anyone is
paying money its gotta be the Chinese).</FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3> </FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans size=2>PS-what the RC world really
needs the mags to do is give us one more review on the NEW .40 P-51 ARF,
complete with genuine imitation exhaust stacks for more realistic runway
fly-bys. Report on how the first take -off was...did it pull right and require
left rudder-I gotta know.....</FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>
