Default Recommend a small pattern plane for practice

Hi all,

I need to get out after work and practice, practice practice. I'd like to find a small airframe that flew "sorta" like my Swallow EX90 and YS110. That way, I could grab an hour after work without taking the whole shooting match in with me.

I'm trying it with an old Cosmo Glint and a TT36Pro but whilst it flies very well, it doesn't have the throttle dynamics of the big planes.

Has anyone tried to build a small pattern trainer? that has about the same power/weight ratio the larger planes?

What are your recommendations, or is it best to just fly the same plane all the time.

Steve
