Default Good Pattern Planes

Someone mentioned the Curare. I was interested in Pattern flying about 16 years ago. Indy R/C was big back then and they had a whole bunch of very nicely done kits (with fiberglass fuselages) of good pattern planes of the day. I bought the CAREER 60 which looks and appears to have exactly specs of the Curare which was being flown by the international F3A champion (either Wolfgang Matt or Hanno Prattner). Don't know why they didn't call it Curare-- but I guess they didn't want to pay licensing fees. Anyhow, I bought the kit and finished the wing to ARC status. The rudder and stabilizer are also finished (ARC). I did nothing to the fiberglass fuse. I am too old to fly pattern now and not too interested any longer. This could be a nice plane if someone wants to put some time into finishing it. I can include photos if anyone is interested. I also have the OS Max 60 RE-P (pumped) engine and header I planned on putting into it along with pull pull stuff.
