I love classic pattern thread

[Jetpainter]

Hey @Jetpainter ,

To answer your question, the next kit I want to get is a CCK Bootlegger and put my OS61VF in it. I also want to get my hands on one of Leo's T2A kits. I have always loved the lines on that airplane from way back when I started following Classic Pattern forums. I have a very special engine (to me anyway) for the T2A, I was just lucky enough to get my hands on a NIB Webra 61 LS Competition Series engine. It's not up to par with a YS (just like nothing else is), but it has almost the exact same performance specs as a Hanno, it even has the same red head. My problem is that when I said "future", I mean "FUTURE". . . . . . If I ever get my AMR Stick done, I still need to rework my Laser, then get my Mach 1 and my Saturn back in the air. After that, I want to build my Illusion. Only after that is done, can I think about building anything else.

Oh well, se la vie.

I really wish I would have gotten my Tipo from Leo. I was very disappointed in the quality of the one I bought. Plus he's only about an hour away. He offered me one in trade for some painting, but I had already bought one.

I spent some time last night figuring out what parts I need to build the Tipo. It's going to be electric so I can take it when I'm flying helicopters. I have the motor, ESC, and batteries and receiver, but I still need a pile of servos and the retracts.

Dang,

I don't know what's worse, not visiting this thread in over 2 years or not flying my Dalotel in over 2-1/2 years. . . . . . . . It is hard to believe its been that long.

The pattern ship you are discussing is it one of the older ones or is it new larger new pattern planes.

Tipo is a classic pattern plane.

A classic go fast ballistic pattern plane!

Here's another good one.

Love the old stuff. Really like the stabilizer when dihedral is revered, it really looks cool. One you could fly those planes in a hurricane and still look good. And as you said go like hell.
