RE: BEGINNER PATTERN PLANE FOR A YS 140 SPORT
Hands down, no questions. Focus 2. There are no major quality concerns...and they fly really well. A lot of the other ARF companies there you dont know what you get. CA has had some MAJOR quality control issues. Yes, people have gotten good ones, but you can find a LIST of people that got crap too...and that includes the newer Genesis' The Focus 2 is all wood and is very rigid, and handles guys just getting into pattern very well. it'll go together in less than a week, and flies well with a 1.40Sport. A lot of the newer designs would be underpowered with the 1.40Sport, but the Focus 2 is a great combination. The other thing you get with the Focus is excellent support from Dave Guerin and the guys at Piedmont.
