Looking for a **VERY GOOD** pattern plane for 91 4-stroke?
Hello everybody,
I want to get a highly-capable practice plane for the Magnum 91FS I have on the shelf (the engine is roughly identical in power to the OS 91 Surpass I). I want a plane capable of about any pattern, even though I am not necessarily. I can muddle through the Advanced pattern and keep it in the box. I just want a smaller plane to burn a lot of fuel while protecting my larger, more expensive 2m.
I have my eye on a few planes, most notably the Hyperion Helios 90e (probably the best size), Sebart Angel S (maybe too small?), Fliton Inspire 90, Venus II (too heavy for the engine), and the Focus Sport (very nice plane). I could add the Hyperion Katana to the list because it now sells for $199 shipped, although I don't necessarily the 1-piece wing (or the pink...).
I just sold my YS 1.10 and traded another engine for the Mag 91, so I don't want to purchase another engine at this time.
Any opinions on these planes? Although I love to build, I would prefer an ARF.
Thanks!
Brett
