Well, Gene, I can tell you that my alternate suggestion, the Goldberg Skylark 70 is one fine plane. It is an old-style pattern, and is included in the classic pattern organization, I think it's called "Senior Pattern Association" or SPA. They have a list of allowable planes that can be flown in their organization. The Skylark ARF is included.

I had a Skylark 56 back, oh, 10 years or so ago, and it flew grand.. except for my inexperience flying in high wind.. ouch.. but I replaced it with the one I have now, which is a .75 version and those four stroke engines would do just fine.

As I said earlier, once set up properly, the club pro did his whole Master class routine and really enjoyed flying the plane. It was not the same as his 2 meter all-out pattern plane, but it just fine for what it was designed to do. And, I enjoy flying it just for sport. Worth taking a look at for either the smaller version (if it's still available) and the 75 size ARF.

I cheated. English muffin with egg white and turkey sausage, two cups of 2% milk and a banana. Bland, but about as good as it gets in this FAA cafeteria.

Dick.
