[NSRCA-discussion] New to pattern flying, entry level pattern plane wanted

[John Ferrell]

Although I am not directly involved I believe the delays in the Focus II product are related to bringing the best quality at the best price. 

If you must have one now I bet there is somebody that will sell theirs just to justify a new one!
Hmmm.... I wonder what my Focus 1 might bring...?

Just thinking out loud, shipping a built 2 meter pattern plane is expensive!

  Brian,

  Why are you looking for a old design (ok flame suit on)  The Focus II might be available again or if your into building look at the Black Magic thread on RCU.. take a look on RCU and you will get some ideas.

    Hello,

    After a long hiatus from RC, I decided this year to get back into the hobby and have always wanted to try pattern. I bought a H9 Showtime and have been flying that this summer, practicing the maneuvers for sportsman. I attended the contest in St. Charles IL last weekend and learned alot by asking questions (annoyed some folks I'm sure), but didn't fly. Now I'm really hooked on pattern!! I'm looking for a used but nice pattern style plane to begin flying to get the "feel " of the performance of this class of plane. After asking several people what I should look for, I'd like something like a Summit, Finesse, Prophesy, etc. So, if anyone in the northern Illinois area (or elsewhere) has a older plane sitting around, drop me a line. I'm in Downers Grove, IL. Thanks in advance! 

    Bryan
