I have a Kaos that a fly all the time and I want to start flying contests in the Sportsman class, but I want to move toward a more modern pattern model. I am also looking for my next kit build.

Since I'm on a ~$400 budget,I was going to get a Venus and have fun flying that, but I would rather build a kit than an ARF. So, I'm looking at the Insight or Epsilon kits and then taking my time to build as I continue to fly the good old Kaos.

Does anyone have any suggestions about the Epsilon, Insight, or other pattern kits? I would also be interested in engine recommendations, but those ususally run down the 120AX / YS110 or 140 road pretty quickly.

I would love a Black Magic, but it's currently not in the budget. (Come on NSRCA NATSraffle!)

Thanks in advance.
