Hello all,

Interesting discussion. I am just getting started and ever since I got interested in pattern I have been dreaming about being able to get a 2M plane. I have attended 3 contests so far and my thinking has changed a little. At least in the lower classes (sportsman and intermediate) I am not sure that the size of the plane really matters that much (within reason; I would not take a park flier to a contest). With that in mind, a plane such as the Osiris is a good choice: not terribly expensive and if I goof up, I can replace it fairly easily and best of all, it flies well.

Having said that, bigger planes do fly and present better. As my skills improve, I would definetily like to get a bigger plane, but I don't think that I will get to be good enough to justify a 2M plane. Maybe bigger, does not mean 2M, but instead, something in the 110/120 size such as the Wind S110. Also, from what I have been able to see, there are not many 110/120 size ARF's out there, so maybe it is an untapped market: somewhat more expensive but not terribly so.

Just my 2 cents,

Teo

Yoav,

I believe that F3A unlimited carries the plane as well. I guess that the 50 size market is not tapped out yet, that is good news.
