>> 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
