<DIV>In Pattern:</DIV>
<DIV>There's nothing wrong with the +/-60 degree stage rule and the 150 meter
out distance is fine also. </DIV>
<DIV>There's nothing wrong with the 5 kilo max rule. </DIV>
<DIV>There is nothing wrong with the 2x2 meter max rule</DIV>
<DIV>There's nothing wrong with the unlimited engine power rule</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What's the next complaint du jur that ""needs fixing"""? The 42 volt
nominal voltage when an electric is involved? Or possibly argue that real radio
programmability with rate functions is desirable? Or autopilots and gyros? Or
maybe putting an upper limit on prop size because a X" prop on an engine is
dangerous? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Interestingly, one could argue that pattern has some similarity to golf in
that it's an individual's sport. Many may play golf but a
small percentage is good at it and extremely few are pros. C'mon
fellas, pattern should be challenging to do well. Actually, more accurately,
pattern is just plain tough to do, period. I find that fun. Don't you?</DIV>
