Default RE: If you had to choose which 3 would it be

Hi,

What's really missing among classic pattern planes in the seize isthe plane Hanno Prettner flew at his last WC where he won with Mystic 60. I know there wasMystic 90 (and 30) ARF but not the dimensions the Mystic 60 had. If You are going to produce an old classic pattern plane that is known to have top of the line flight characteristics Mystic 60would be my first choice. Not that complicated to do and should also work nice as electric that probably some would prefer. And OS Hanno Special is still reasonable easy to get second hand and even new at various auction sites. Mystic 60 kind of ended classic pattern 2-stroke era so the plane would represent many things: Prettner design, 2-stroke, last2-stroke plane that won WC, taildragger (easier design), retracts (or without). So it would fill a gap to have a replica basic kit of Myctis 60. $125 for a basic kit is very cheap so no problem with that I think.
Arrow is nice also of course.

1993 WC and Mystic 60 etc: http://www.algonet.se/~boem/ClassicPattern/Prettner/Mystic60/RCM-E_January1994_F3A_WC_1993.pdf
