  I personally think Ihncheol's email here would make a great article in the next KFactor.

    Beside all those 120/140 size current Pattern kits.  I know followings are available. I don't have price info for any others.
     
    Creek Hobbies Quest 3D $250 + shipping: new design 3D, Pattern.   Currently on eBay (if you are closer to NJ it should be cheaper, I have to pay over $52 just for shipping to ID).
     
    World Model Zen 90: Pattern, retracts or new version with fixed gear should be available soon.) 
    Swallow EX: Pattern / 3D (as long as it comes out as advertised, it sounds ok)
    GP UCD3D: low cost 3D/Pattern, but need to dial out lots of coupling problems. RCU has a very long thread on this.
     
    Kyosho G-Trick:  Well known design ARF, 90 size.
    Hirobo Stream 90 FAI/Hyper:  A little hard to find, but better than G-trick as it is a later version of G Naruke's Japanese ARF.
     
     
    JR Propo Explorer 90 FAI: limited quantity show up on eBay.
     
    Kits:
     
    Joe Bridi : http://www.bridiradiocontrol.com/
    CA model (available also through Doug Cronkite) 
                   Widebody 60/90  Kit:  3D/Pattern  (need to cut out the control surfaces, so you can cut them smaller for Pattern)
                    Eclipse 120/140 kit: 120/140 glass fuse, sheeted wing etc.
     
     
    From Japan: Pilot Seduction 90, MK Skystar 90, Wild7 90, Wildbeat 90, Extra 300 90, Super VR 90, 
    Flight Hobbies: Stage 90, Grandslam 90. http://www.flighthobby.com (In Japanese, but has lot of pictures)
    MK & Pilot kits available through Singapore Hobby  http://www.singahobby.com 
     
     
    All the above should to very good job.
    Hope this helps,

      I'm  looking  for recommendations for a .90  to 1.20 size
      delux  kit, ARC or  ARF plane suitable for Sportsman pattern.
       
      I know there  has  been  lots of reviews  &  reports of  such
      birds  lately  -  but I'd appreciate current suggestions of
      planes and where to  get them.   The bird is intended for
      a recently  soloed pilot - he learned on park flyers and  is now
      flying a Sig Somethin Extra.  He is an aggressive, and
      un-disciplined pilot, but shows talent.
       
      Thanks,  Ron  Lockhart
