RE: First Pattern Plane What to get??
Mark,
Thanks for the comments. Actually I have a brand new Fantasy I was considering selling. The plane has only maybe four test flights. I also have two Eclipses (one electric, one OS140). I do have an extra set of covered wings and stabs from my original electric Eclipse. It would be no problem for me to install them on the Fantasy and have another true pattern plane. By the way, the Fantasy flies a good pattern, provided you do not push the rudder too hard. Then I get some roll couple. On normal pattern deflections, it almost flies identical to my Eclipses.
If someone is interested in the Fantasy, please contact me. I will later buy a second set of batteries for my electric Eclipse.
By the way, at $499 + shipping for the basic Eclipse or Fantasy kit is a bargan. You can't go wrong with either plane.
