Tommy S,

I see that you are in Houston (I fly in NW Houston at SPARKS RC) and I also saw from another thread that you've had an Excelleron 90 for a long time and were very pleased with it. I'm wanting to buy my first pattern plane and I've heard a lot of good things about this one - except that they are difficult to find. Would you still recommend this 2 yr old plane for a lower-cost first pattern plane or is there another one you'd recommend?

Thanks,

Alan
