Ok, i can't take it anymore.. j/k i love this stuff.

Do a search in the RCU forums for the "insight". It is an all wood roach, foam cores avaiable form teh designer and the plane flys awesome. All done with a 160 os on a stock muffler with a glassed fuse 10 lbs 2 oz. How can you beat that. I think wing cores, turtle decks, canopy belly pan , well, anything foam plus plans is 175 bucks . Add 175 bucks of balsa... 3 cases of beer, endless nights with an exacto and you got yourself and inexpensive legal pattern plane that is proven in competition.

I went to a contest, had major motor trouble, decided not to fly at all and was "forced" to fly the Insight to keep the CD from killin me (his plane). I won the event agasint some great pilots.

It took 2nd in intermediate at Nats this year and also it will go through the Advanced pattern and if the 160 was on a pipe it would go through the Masters pattern with ease.

I did not mention the original plane with the 140 sport YS motor weighed in at around 9 lbs 8-9 ozs. (HOLY CRAP). Hope this steers you in its direction. Because of its design, you can munipulate the lines all little if it doesn't quite appeal to you.
