1.) I want to keep this relativley inexpensive.
2.) I don't want to go 50cc gas because then it would be too heavy to be pattern legal.
3.) Supposedly the BME makes more power than a glow G90, although I haven't seen anything to confirm that yet.
4.) I looked at the Showtime 90, it's a nice looking plane for a decent price. I will have to read about it's pattern performance and the engine choices.
The Showtime is a pretty good choice. It is a respectable Pattern performer given its smaller size and oversized controls. It's quite capable of 3D too. You'll want more than a .90 to power it though. The OS 120AX does very nicely in the Showtime.
