Dick, I am SERIOUSLY considering taking up Pattern full-time again (means actually practicing and going to meets), all this talk of cheap gas pattern is really intriguing me. I know the forum went round and round before with .60 size pattern and whatnot, and I was heavily leaning that way. But, the 2 meter ships fly so darned well! But, I'm reluctant to begin feeding the YS monster again. Not to mention $120 digital servos, etc.

Would a neat 2M ship like a Focus or something work well with your ZDZ40, or the RCS 1.4, or ??? Pattern season is almost upon us, and I know I could get something together quickly enough, and start getting some flying in before the meets crank up. I don't need an ARF, but obviously time is coming up on me quickly, so would need a quick build kit, or something...

I guess I'm looking for some serious opinions on what will work.


Thanks,
Phil in Austin
