Robert Lundstrom: 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 northwest Illinois, so not too many contests near me. - Bob
Kevin Smith: Have not checked into RC Pattern in a long time. These planes are shockingly different from the planes I used to follow in the ’70s.
Bob Lasky: Great information.
