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

[Arch Stafford]

Matt,
 
The Showtime is a nice flying airplane, but it is still no where near a
competitive 2-meter plane.  I personally have flown the P-07 sequence with
one, and it flies it OK..but I does not fly it anywhere near the way a true
well trimmed 2-meter ship will. It is adequate in Sportsman, and it will fly
intermediate, but anything more than that is a stretch.  Yes, I know it will
fly the other sequences, but there is a point where the airplane becomes a
liability and you are doing more work than you need to.  As nice as it
flies, it still wont touch even the designs for 7-8 years ago in smoothness
and presentation.
 
Arch

Bryan, 
 Welcome back to pattern bud. I heard you don't like the show time. I think
it is a very nice airplane.

Nat,
 
Don't get me wrong. I really like the Showtime. I fly it on a Saito 180 and
the stock muffler. It does everything you can throw at it. I just was
wanting to have a pattern style plane to get the feel of how they fly versus
a BARF off the shelf......

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
