Home Page; the Pattern Master!
My handle is derived
from my hobby, Precision Aerobatic Control
line Model Aviation (also known as
CLPA, F2B, or simply Aerobatics). Control line flying is the only type
of model aviation allowing the modeler to maintain physical contact with
his craft. Standing in the center of a circle, the pilot flys her aircraft
through out the hemisphere overhead via control lines extending from a
handle she holds. In precision aerobatics the pilot flys a
specific pattern of many maneuvers. The goal is consistent precision in
the shape and placement of each manuver: A well accomplished pattern is
some what like an aerial ballet. That's me in the RayBans and straw hat,
with an airplane called the "Chipmunk," an attractive and very maneuverable
aircraft.
If you want
to learn more about this great sport/hobby -- one that can be a distracter
from the toils of life, a place to make lasting friends, and a great way
to teach kids a thing or two about life values and natural science (physics,
math, etc.) -- check out the links built into this site.
