<DIV>Merle,</DIV>

<DIV>There are a number of good planes available to start with. Pretty much
depends on your budget and how bad you got bit by the pattern bug. The
Temptation is one of the top of the line kits.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Try this thread below from RCUniverse. Allot of good discussion on beginner
pattern planes.</DIV>

<DIV>Maybe someone else can chime in with there thoughts on a good pattern plane
to start with.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are you looking for a full 2-Meter size? Many folks sell their planes after
a couple of seasons. Many with great deals. You can also check out a number of
Pattern Service Providers at:</DIV>

cc: <BR>> Subject:
just getting started<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Howdy
everyone<BR>> well I have another question for yall. Ok like I was saying
earlier I am <BR>> just getting started in pattern planes. Which I must say
are nice planes <BR>> to fly. well the wife gave me the go ahead to buy a
decent pattern plane <BR>> instead of this hobbico spectrum I have. (which
does fly nice) So she is <BR>> going to end up with the spectrum. I have
been looking at the temptation I <BR>> do like the way it looks. what I am
asking is what would anyone suggest as <BR>> a good solid flying plane (i
know a lot depends on the builder too) but <BR>> let me give you a bit of
info about me and my flying experience. I fly <BR>> imac sportsman just
local club stuff so its really kinda not up to <BR>> compitition
standards I fly the sportsman sequence with a pitts special <BR>> lol and I
think most would know how they land ect. So what i am looking <BR>> for is
a plane that will give me what i need in performance and be a <BR>> stable
landing aircraft and do the manuvers with ease (with the exceptions <BR>>
of the pilots abilitys) so any ideas would help thanks again for putting
<BR>> up with a newbies questions and for the help I have learned a lot
from all <BR>> the different posts. Merle<BR>> p.s. looks like there are
a few others wanting to get into pattern all the <BR>> way also here local
so it will be nice maybe even get to fly with some of <BR>> you
others.<BR>> <BR>>
