Sig King Kobra as a Pattern Plane??

[mrstev0922 at aol.com]

A recent listing on Ebay for a Sig King Kobra short kit (wing cores, cowl, 
canopy, and turtle deck) got me thinking about that plane again.  I've always 
heard good things about the King Kobra and how smooth it flys.  Plus, the 
airfoiled shaped tail was an added bonus!!  I was wondering if anyone has 
tried "patternizing" the Sig King Kobra and using it in competition or just 
for practice??  If so what engines were used??

With the King Kobra only having a 58 inch wing span with 700 square inches, 
it seems to be a large forty size plane or a small sixty.  Thinking 
fourstroke, I was envisioning a Saito 80 or perhaps a Y.S 63??

Any thoughts, comments or discussion would be greatly appreciated!!
