Experiences:
I started pattern flying in November 1992, and i have been competing ever since.
I have constructed 8 aircraft over this time and purchased two others. Geez, been flying over 18 years in pattern and i've had 10 models, where'd they go!
My current model Cyclone is the my third one (Must be a pretty good model). This one is starting to get on a bit now, she's nearly 3.5 to 4 years old young. Still a goody.
I am waiting to finish my new John Payne Tempest.
