Guys,

My problem is little to no interest in Pattern at the local field. On any given weekend, we have everything from electric old timers to 40% Carden Edge's, but I'm not aware of anyone who has flown pattern.

One point which has been brought out in this thread, what is a good pattern trainer/motor combination for someone interested in learning pattern? It shouldn't break the bank, but it should teach some basics of setting up a pattern plane and should fly similar.

There has been talk about Cubs, 40 and 60 size sticks, Kaos' and others. What is the best entry level plane/motor for getting your feet wet?
