Default Need suggestion for next pattern arf

Been flying Venus II for 3 yrs. now with electric setup. Good flying plane, but ready to move to next level. What are some quality arfs that would be the next step up?

+1 For Vanquish.  Also, the SebArt Wind 110 is great if you don;t mind a slightly smaller plane.

I recently got a CA Models Passport. I haven't flown it yet, but from what I hear it is a great plane. I should get my first flight on it this Sunday

1fasthitman,

I think for the price and flying qualities the Vanquish 2M is your best option, it flies very well, and at $650 you can get a real 2M.

Regards

What is your budget?

Nuance (F3AUnlimited.com by BJ Craft) is probably my choice right now, based on general cost, weight, and positive flight reports.

That nixes the Nuance. The Vanquish and soon-to-be-released Osiris 2m are good candidates for that budget.
