RE: Which plane best for first classic pattern scratch build?
Dont for the Cosmos...
It is a ide exhaust, I think this builder may have modified his to rear exhaust making it an Aurora, but this is how it looks... just with a side mounted, side exhaust engine. Simular to the Atlas.
I would choose btwenn the Bridi UFO, Bridi Dirty Birdy, MK Cosmos, MK Atlas or the MK Curare. Too many beautiful plane to coose from.
