[SPAM] RE: Suggestions for Sport Pattern 40 - 60 size plane

[Ihncheol Park]

Paul,

Why not get one of the Fascination 50 that is available at RCU?  $100.00 +
shipping I think.  Cheap and some people already mentioned it.

I heard it's not bad.

Hi,
   Thanks for the info.
   So far the candidates for knock around sport pattern are:
* Venus,  possibly some QC problems but most have worked well and fly well.
* Javalin II, sounds good but who carries it and how much.
* Excelleron 50 & 90, also sounds good but a bit on the expensive side for a
knock around.
* Swallow, Yes Chuck you kicked my butt with this.  I'm not sure it fits as
a sport knock around.
* Wideboby 40, I'm not sure about this.  Haven't seen one yet.  Does it fit
as a knock around plane.

   What I am looking for is something that is
*relatively inexpensive (< 200),
*takes a 40 - 60 2 stroke,
*is pretty sturdy (or replacement parts are available),
*flys well enough that casual Intermediate pattern practice will not teach
me bad habits or cause me to spend most of my attention
 on fighting the plane rather than working the manuevers.
* Is an easy to build arf - the easier the better.  This is a knock around
plane and
expendable.

  Anyone have any coments on a 46 powered 3d plane that fits this
description ?
   The Venus sounds interesting.  The only downside is the pitch hunting and
it may
be  a bit more serious than a knock around plane.

Thanks
