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! </SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

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!</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
