color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>The first time I saw that technique
was in the early 80s when I was admiring one of Dean's gorgeous
'Maya' renditions. It had a diamond airfoil stab and he explained that
it made the elev stick softer around neutral. You see boys and girls,
that was before expo was invented! </FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff><FONT size=2>Speaking of Dean, he is the reason I got
into pattern. It was 1983 at Floyd Bennet field in Brooklyn NY and I
was told that the field was closed to regular flying the next day as
there would be a pattern contest at the site. So I went to the field
very early to get some flying in before the contest started. Suddenly
an army of trucks and vans started pulling up and a fleet of gorgeous
pattern planes were setup in the pits. I watched Dean fly three
rolls in the Master's pattern (don't laugh) and between the
totally axial rolls, smoke against the blue sky, and the gorgeous Tipo
I was hooked. At this point I am not sure whether to thank Dean or
not!</FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
