upside down. All others CRASH!!</FONT></DIV>

brands-and general pattern stuff</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>1. Every engine brands at one
time or another has a "problem" engine.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2> a. Most pattern flyers are engine experts,
and have been for quite a long time, just ask, they will tell you.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2> b. No need to
EVER change a break in methodology, since it worked well back in '75.</FONT>
<BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2> c. No need to
EVER consider an different fuel for a particular engine, especially since I
get this brand free/at cost/etc.... after all, my fuel
should work in EVERY engine or the engine is
defective-Right?</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>
d. Any modifications that an owner must perform are a sure sign of bad
engineering/poor quality, unless its my brand.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>2. All pattern planes have one or more weaknesses.
Some do particular things very well and other things poorly(really-less
well). When ever someone sees a"new" plane they ask the owner "how does it
fly".</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2> a.
How many times has the reply been "great".</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2> b. How many times has the reply been " it
sucks.....looks like I just blew $2000".</FONT> <BR><BR><BR><FONT
