Guys, if you want to fly pattern with .60 sized "economy" planes, that's what the SPA was made for. If there's no local SPA activity, then start it up. It's big here in the Southeast.

To poorbs, I have a 2 meter, wide body typhoon that I scratch built. It's wood. It's also the easiest to maintain of any plane I've had in over 20 years, and it has about 500 flights on it, and quite a few trips into the weeds from when I started out.

And it's 2 meters, it's plenty light, it's made of wood, and is the most reliable plane in my stable. It's also a winner.

Seems like a lot of misconceptions out there.
