RE: modern smaller pattern plane kit??
This is a shot of my Ariel, it's a 2M pattern plane, you didn't state what you thought of as a small one. It was designed in 1994 and they are still being used today. The mold for the fuse is still around and every now and again some kits show up. I have a closet full of plans for pattern planes but they are all older designs like the Bridis but they are in 60 size. If you look at the plans section in Model Airplane News there are some nice plans but most of them are older designs. Anything over about 5 years in Pattern is an older design, it's one of the few RC sports that is still always changing and new planes are getting designed.
