Default RE: Looking for a **VERY GOOD** pattern plane for 91 4-stroke?

Have had the Venus II, It will fly everything through Masters fairly well. It is definitely a YS 1.10 or OS 120 size plane. Mine had an OS 120 in it.

I have an Angel S I am currently flying as a practice plane. It is designed to be an electric which mine is. It has a 5S setup that allows me to use me packs from my 2M electric Beryll. I have read some posts that some are putting OS 55's in them. Someone commented about using a YS 63 in this airframe. I definitely would not. To me it is too fragile to take the beating of a 4-stroke. It flys well for its size.

I'm sure the Focus Sport is a good flyer as is all of Dave Guerins stuff. It is a designed to run on the YS 1.10.

As far as the Inspire goes, I have no idea. Personally I think the Fliton airframes are too fragile in general.


You really need to finds a light 60 size airframe. The CA Models Widebody 60 is probably a good choice. Don't know if they are still available though. THe Helios 63 might be a good choice for the Magnum. Don't know much about it.
