OK, let me start out by saying that I'm not really a pattern flyer but do enjoy the precision and 'point and shoot' ability of flying pattern aircraft. I call my type of flying 'faux pattern' ...sort of semi precise sport aerobatics.

With that being said, I've owned a couple of what I would consider 'faux pattern' planes...an E-Flite Brio 10 and an Aeroworks Stingray...both nice little planes.

I'm interested in buying a slightly larger pattern plane...maybe a 3DHS Aspera or World Models Groovy 50 3A and converting it to electric. I've also got a Precision Aerobatics Extra MX that I have set up for more precision work and it's actually pretty nice although it's so damn light that it doesn't really penetrate wind well.

Anyway, enough of that. The main question I have is that I'm a pretty big fan of E-flite/ Hangar 9/ Horizon and have noticed that they're really not offering any models that are precision oriented. Any reason for this? I suppose it's not a big part of the market but, still, I'd maybe like to see something from them. The Brio 10 was a nice little plane and when it was discontinued, it wasn't replaced with anything.

Any Horizon brass on here want to chime in, anyone have any ideas? If anyone over at HH is listening, give me an E-Flite or Hangar 9 pattern plane 50-55" with an electric power option (if it's from H9)...and while you're at it, bring back the Deuces Wild, that thing is fantastic and if I ever pack mine in, I want another one!

Thanks!
