Hello All,

I have been lurking around on the pattern forum for quite a while and I think I am ready to take the leap to pattern flying. I have been flying a 3D foamy for a while but I don't think I like it as much as I thought I would. I really want to learn the smooth F3A aerobatics, but I am low on budget and don't have more than $200 to spend on the plane and electronics. I have been looking at a few airplanes at hobbycity.com which are:

1- Supervision XP by TMpro
2- Hotpoint EP
3- CAP 232 (http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=5387)

Now, I do not know if any of these planes would be a good choice and I need suggestion on a good plane to get started with. Do you guys recommend any of the above planes? I am even willing to build one from scratch if there are good plans available.

What are the key things you would look for when selecting your first pattern type plane?

I would highly appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks...
