Would not have thought of a warbird as a scale pattern plane, but after reading the different types of pattern, I guess it fits. I don't want an ARF, I have a 4*120 ARF and would much rather have built it from a kit after seeing how it was put together. Granted, it is well made, but I would have used different glue instead of hot melt. The covering keeps coming loose too, so going to have to recover it this winter. <div>
</div><div>What I want is a plane that looks like a real plane, but can fly the patterns well. The Chipmunk looks like a good prospect. </div><div>

</div><div>Magnum 91 FS is a good match for it too. </div><div>
</div><div>Now that I think about it. my friends brother had entered a pattern contest just for kicks with a Zero and won. He didn't have time to stick around, only a little time to fly, got it up, did the pattern and landed and had the best time out of all of them. Really ticked off the regulars too.

</div><div>Open to all suggestions on planes. One plane that is on my list is a Bridi, either the Dirty Birdy or the Killer Chaos. Neither are a scale plane, so hence my posting.
Something tells me that my 1/7th scale TF P-51 will not make a good pattern plane. </div>
