RE: What's a good plane to start pattern with?
I have a CAMODEL's Epsilon 40 with a 46 AX, and I got myself an Epsilon 90 last week. I would love to put a YS110 on it, and I thinks this would be a terrific configuration.
But if you are tight on budget, I would go with the Epsilon 90 and a OS 90 FX or even better an OS 120AX on it. There is one on my field with a 120AX and it is amazing.
If you are not into building, you may ask for the ARC or ARF versions, but the kit is very easy to build, really. I took me two hours to get the Epsilon 40 fuse aligned and ready.
Quite easy to fly also.
