Maybe I am an artifact, I don't know! I have been looking to get back into pattern flying, but I am having somewhat of a problem finding what I am looking for.(my last pattern plane was a Vertigo 2, I don't remember who kitted it) I am NOT into 3D squirrley airplanes.... I am looking for a 60 sized real pattern plane.(F3A)
I remember graceful lines, swept leading edge wings, Foam wings, Retracts ETC....
Is there any hope? I really like the clean lines of a (real) pattern plane, with the gear up and smooth as glass performance.
I have found a couple of crossover planes (3D / F3A) but control surfaces are WAY to large and they have fixed gear attached to the Fuselage.
My preferences are:
60 engine size (2 stroke)(maybe 100 4 stroke)
swept wings (graceful)[sm=thumbup.gif]
retractable gear

Any Suggestions?
Thanks....
