I also like sport models as they fly better then most scale models and are just "plane" fun to fly!
I can't argue with the second part of this sentence but I'm always uncomfortable when people say that sport planes fly "better." Better is relative to one's interests. I don't want to fly a model inverted and don't want a model that flies "like it's on rails." I want a model aircraft that flies with all the faults and peculiarities of the full scale aircraft I love. So for me "better" would mean they fly in a more scale-like manner. For example, I loved the funkiness of my Cub in flight. In fact, I might say that sports models fly "too well."
Abu: Your comment has really got me to thinking about flying my WWI models. I began flying pattern about six or seven years ago to improve my flying and make me more confident about flying my scale models. The pattern planes fly so "well" that the WWI planes feel absolutely, hopelessly clumsy compared to them. After flying pattern planes, WWI planes were no longer fun to fly. As a result, I rarely fly them.
After reading your statement, I realize I've got to readjust my attitude! My Nieuport gets flown this weekend.
