Have not checked into R/C pattern in a long time. these planes are shockingly different from the planes I used to follow in the 70’s.

VHello.. why is there no classic pattern in AMA.... the most beautiful thanks a lot for the reply, greetings Jan Prague City.

Man Rusty, I'd love to text you to hear more about electric pattern. I almost bought one about 15 years ago, but didn't pull the trigger. These aircraft look sensational! I live in NW Illinois so not too many contests near me. - Bob

unfortunately Pattern Planes continue the trend of uglification... remember when they looked awesome? Mach One, Deception, Jekyl etc

[TheSblackwater]

They need a rule that the planes should at least resemble a real in-service aircraft.

Pattern is (unless you are competing) like watching paint dry.

[heeder]

Ahhhh...they look like flying fish. Give me a UFO or a Curare any day. 😂

[grasuh]

Beautiful and ugly at the same time...very interesting F3A era we live now.

Ugliest planes ever. Look like ufo’s. I sketched one like this 10 yrs ago pondering the future of pattern. Looks the same right side up/ upside down. Next they’ll have a third wing perpendicular to eliminate knife edge. Like watching paint dry, even worse waiting for your round. Blah.

[GRW]

Too bad you didn’t use archival film from pattern contests instead of what appears to be TOC coverage.

[wildgoobsid]

Looks like a kids toy spacecraft. Fugly.

These are by far and away the ugliest pattern aircraft I have yet to see in my 20 years of Rc flying.
