After flying a high quality pattern plane, I have become very picky in my choice of airplanes
Same here, spoiled stupid: I have two Pattern planes (Typhoon 2K hybrids) that I fly all the time. A Desire OS91FX that I like but have not flown for months and a Norvel powered 1/2A Mini Tiger (C Golberg based), just for fun.
My next project will probably be a Brio pattern plane.
I must admit I do have a couple of nagging dreams that sometimes come to mind. Like a BVM turbine BobCat, or a probuilt, no limits, Top Gun ready, large scale Mk. IX Spitfire. But either one would set me back $6,000+ and I can have 2 Brios for that :-)
