Newbie Pattern Question
 

Hi gang! I am familiar with 3D planes and have the hang of it as I am learning new moves every weekend. Now my question is whats a good patern plane to get into? I have a Saito 91 that could use a new home. I plan on getting a bigger Saito like 100 or 120 as well this fall and am contemplating a Pattern ship.

I dont want to break the bank but something decent with 3D abilities would be nice


Any links to Pattern flying would be appreciated it as well!


thanks

matt

maybe a synergy 90?

Check out the Quest 3-D .90. It is capable of 3-D and is an excellent pattern ship with normal control throws. I have seen it do FAI manouvers and was impressed enough to buy one. I don't have it put together yet, but the quality of this ARF is excellent. You can find these being sold on E-bay by Creek for about $225.

For 3D and pattern check out the CA models Widebody 60. Many threads on this plane here.

The Swallow is on sale at www.giantscaleplanes.com for $239
Good plane for your .91

Quest 3D. Flew one with a Saito 120. Flew almost good enough to do the Masters pattern on 30% Nitro.

The Widebody 60 is my first pattern ship and its great, it was an easy build. I have a older OS 91 surpass in it and it flies great. I plan on installing Saito 100 in it soon. If you want a kit go with it, if you want an ARF then go with the Quest 90, thats going to be my next plane.
