Scooter too for classic or bpa pattern?
I flew this plane in pattern contests back in the early '80s. Is this considered a pattern plane? Originally a Q 500 racer but some put .60s with pipes and flew them in pattern because they flew smooth. I have a second one I built and finished in 1981 but never got flying before I got my Kaos in the air that year.

Don

Don,
I flew the Scooter 2. The Scooter 2 was a plane of mine. And Don...the Scooter 2 is no pattern plane.
Seriously...back in 1971, I lived in Lubbock, TX the birthplace of the Scooter. (Riley Wooten designed and kitted the Scooter.) I had 3 of them at one time or another. Nearly every RC pilot in Lubbock had one. We flew them and raced them...flew them at Fun Flys. With a .40 engine it's a quick little sport plane.....but a pattern plane it ain't. My recommendation for a .40 to .45 size "vintage" pattern plane is the Tower Kaos 40. It looks the part and flies well.
