Hey guys thanks for all the information. I have purchased a pattern plane and have an engine purchase in progress. A fellow pattern flyer of yours saw my post here and was kind enough to email me and tell me about a plane he was considering selling and I ended up buying it from him. I will try and post a picture of it here so you can see it. Also, I emailed Dave from YS Performance Specialties and he was also very very helpful to me and I think went out of his way to help me get started, and he is going to send me a new YS 140 DZ to put in it. Thanks to all who replied to this and I am sure I will be asking for more help in the near future..You RC guys are the best!!!!
