This past weekend I completed the first full stunt pattern since my last pattern in 1954.
Many thanks to Mike Pratt for his Primary Force which eneabled me to reach this level.

Congrats Steve, I remember doing mine in 2001, the first since about 1970. Not as long as your's, but it sure felt good!

Good work Steve! What engine are you using on your Primary Force? I have a couple of them and am experimenting with engines.

I went from 1976 to 2000 between full patterns.
Unfortunately, my 1976 patterns wer flown with a Dolphin/OS35S running dead lean(I was a combat/rat guy)and I was the only one who could recognize them. Same in 2000, though they were slightly slower at least with a Twister/OS 35FP.
Anyway, congrats! Keep flying and working on it.

Kim,
I had been flying the airplane with an OS 25 FSR but this summer when it got to 90 degrees by 9 am, I switched to a Magnum 36. Same weight as the FSR, but able to turn a bigger prop at lower rpm. It seems to be a good fit the the ARF that I'm flying. The kit is lighter and rewards a lighter engine a bit so a Brodak 40 or OS MaxS with the ABC piston and liner might be better.
