Hi all,

I am looking at getting a pattern plane just as a casual pattern flyer, not a real serious competition plane. I'm wondering if this is ok for what I want. I realize that this plane is setup for a YS110 but I'm looking at putting a Magnum 120 4 stroke in it. I realize the the YS is more powerful but I don't want to spend the extra money for it and really, have no interest in buying 20% nitro fuel for the YS.

Anyway, anyone here got any experience with this plane? Thanks.

I've seen that plane here in italy... it's nice but not a big deal.
Let me recommend you the phoenix model's Accipiter; it's cheaper, flies better and has the same quality.

Thanks, I'll take a look. Got a website?

Well; I boutgh it in italy at www.mobby.it
I don't know who in US could sell it; but I'm pretty sure that anyone selling Phoenix Models can provide you. The Leo is a chinese-european plane too; so may be the same seller of the Leo could provide it too.
Cheers!

Check out the world models 120 http://www.theworldmodels.com/para/p...airplaneid=165
The problem was the covering was cheap, but it was one of the best pattern planes I've flown (under $300).
Search "Spot on 120" here and google and you will find a lot of info. I used a YS110 in mine, but a OS120 or similar would be better. This plane as adjustable incidence, something you don't find in many planes under $750. It's worth a look.

I am almost finished with my Leo 110
I just have to put the exhaust system in it
Now I am also waiting for this lousy winter weather to be gone
so I can do my bench work to get the engine setup right
the plane will come out to 10.5 lbs
I went with a YS 110 because I had a couple of YS engines
I also have a magnum 4 stroker and I am sorry to say it doesn't have the power of the YS
you won't notice the power loss until you start doing vertical manuvers

So how is the quality of the Leo 110? Got pics?
