RE: Rookie Pattern Wannabe
War Eagle guys from down here in Auburn,
I suggest that you give the CA Models website a look. They have ARCs that appear to be well made if you don't want to build the kits. I have a Widebody 40 kit and there is a Widebody 60 at the field. They are incredible planes with the right price ranges. Pattern Proz seems to be the best place pricewise from what I've found for these kits and ARCs. The website is camodels. com.ar.
Glad to hear about the field up there. Ours is a small club with about 20 members, and we have a good site with a grass runway. The SPA Masters will be at our field this year, so maybe y'all will come down for that....or to just fly around with us some time. We have about 5 pattern guys, and one won Nats about 13 years ago, and the friend with the Widebody 60 won Jr. Nats eons ago.
