would a showtime be considered a pattern plane or a 3d plane

Both,

Over i nthe pattern forum, there were a few threads when it first came out that had setups for using it for pattern. My understanding is that when properly setup, it was a very respectable pattern ship. For 3D you are gonna get all kinds of opinions. I feel it's a decent beginning 3D machine.

Bretd: I guess you are looking for a 3D plane. Forget the Showtime, I have whitnesed a total wing failure during a blender, the wing tube and joiner actually tore upward through the ribs on the Port wing allowing it to flutter down alone inside a shower of broken balsa and covering bits. the balance of the airframe entered a high rate spin that turned into a uncontroled sprial dive. The destruction was almost total including a smashed Saito, two servo's and rec. We think that when the wing left the servo lead yanked the rec. right up to the fuse side tearing out the leads to the tail servos (all ext secured with heat shrink not one let go)
The tube inside the Port wing appeared to only have glue on the root and second rib. the Starboard wing had more glue but wing was badly smashed so hard to say how well it was built.
If you want to fly true 3D get a profile from here http://www.swanyshouse.com/index.aspx
I have the Mojo 60 and the Primo both from kits. 3D animals light but built to take 3D flight stress plus a fair amount of hard ground arrivals. The ARF Mojo comes from the same factory used by OMP and Copperhead Avation.
Stay away from the "Big" names for 3D, none of them build a true 3D plane as the mass market would not buy in large enough numbers.
If you want to fly gently do big loops and repair your landing gear mount every week get a Showtime.
If you want to fly hard and push things every time out get one of Pauls planes.

Neither. Artistic plane.

All I can tell you is that Mike McConville gave Kyle one to fly for a video to promote and advertise the plane. Kyle don't fly pattern!!!! BTW 1THEPALMER
is a member of the ProBros, as am I, so he's definately going to try and point you towards a profile plane. LOL

I had one, and have flown someone elses, both snapped with a moderate amount of elevator, very scary to 3-D DOD, which is why I didnt with the ST. Yes there is a vid of a few people 3-D'ing a ST very well, if you are a beginning or even average 3-D'er, I wouldnt recommend the ST, seems only the best can get it to Huck DOD.

Where is the Mojo available in ARF form & whats the price?

All I can say is that I have ST for about 3years now and I think it's a really good all around flyier. It will fly both, 3D and pattern. I have YS110 in the nose which provides plenty of power for anything you can think of. I fly it without SFG's 'cos I couldn't be bothered putting them on all the time. The plane flies great without them as well. See people have different opinions. I guess it also depends on your flying style.

Neither.. it snaps, cannot recover from spiral easy, will hover but not impressive, will knife edge nicely thats all..
If landing gear is epoxied generously before maiden, it will survive.

I saw 3 ST90 got flutter and exploded at least one of the wings in mid flight. 1 of them dived straight into ground. Mine never had flutter but once it couldnt recover from a spiral in time and crash landed into a lake completely destroying the right wing tip.

Its an adrenalin rush every time - you always know its on the edge.. it looks nice in the air and thats it.. its not a good plane for anything other than slow pleasure flight IMO. would never buy another one. (or any 3D based Hangar9 plane)..
