RE: Entry level smaller pattern kit.
My first AMA pattern experience is coming up next month in Miami. I asked some pattern guy's for advice, what to buy, etc. The Focus Sport was my choice. I followed Troy Newman's build. I am not an engineer like he is. Little TMI, (too much info), but I learned from him.
Again, at the advice of some pattern guy's, I installed the YS110S, Hyde mount. First YS and first 4 stroke, another learning experience. This plane and engine are not necessarily the only good package available, it fit for me. If all goes well, I will duplicate this for a back up.
I build also, but the quality and price of this FS, I don't think it can be built at the $350.00 price, which includes shipping. The covering is excellent.
Wing adjuster's, new experience also. Ready to maiden it as soon as it quit's raining down here. Pant's get on after first flight's.
