So yeah, I've really got the bug; been flying for just under 2 months, and I'm flying my second plane (Phoenix Dolphin), have my third on it's way (Phoenix Super Decathlon) and am thinking about my fourth. I'd love to get something that I could start using for pattern flying, and might be interested in building a kit this winter. I've read that Cap's, Sukoi's, Extras are OK to use for Sportsman's stuff, but should I be aiming at something different? I don't mind the looks of pattern planes with the exception of the Tracer - I'd rather not get that one[:'(] Or should I just stick with the Dolphin for my pattern stuff? From what I gather, it's best to have a long tail moment, and a fuse length about equal to wing span, but this is hard to find without getting a specific pattern plane.

Thanks for any suggestions...
