Also a good project to see how these copper wires and magnets work

I'm in. The Blue Angel flies as though it's on rails.
If the Atlas lives up to it, we will have a fleet of pattern ships, designed to be fault free.
Anyone else in?

I hope the Atlas doesn't disappoint Phil, The Blue Angel really was wonderful to fly even if I was shaking when I handed it back to Mike, I really didn't want to do anything to endanger his plane. But, if the Atlas flies like that I'll be really happy. Glad you're on board.

I am certain the Atlas will fly every bit as well as the Blue Angel, Wolfgang knew what he was doing!

Not sure it is going to be much, if any, slower than the BA though as per an earlier post. Is this assumption down to the straight wing vs swept or something else,eg wing section thickness?

Not on the build - but I would certainly enjoy seeing more proponents of pattern flying in the club. Its a rewarding discipline which takes an enormous amount of effort and practice to achieve even basic aerobatic maneuvers in the right place and of the right shape and size.
