Sounds like a hell of a plan Matt, please keep us informed of your progress. I'd like to see that bird in the air.

If you never decide to go into Pattern competitively, you could always take up full scale aerobatics

Default Re: Pattern planes for 07?

well, I don;t know about a hell of a plane, but kind of neat. From the 70's, so kind of dating myself.
If I knew more about the modern planes, i would love to do one of those. But in time.
I'll try to do some pix through the project and post them if I ever figure out how to do that.
Was just planning on doing the OS 60 with a standard muffler, but i was going to mount the engine on it 's side as opposed to upright. No tuned pipe, but I also got a set of RhomAir's with the kit. (original as well)

will keep you posted when I start in January.

Actually Matt, I said "hell of a plan" not "hell of a plane", but that thing with the 60 and retracts, will be a hell of a plane You aren't dating yourself too bad, I'm pretty sure you're still younger than me.

Fast plane and still aerobatic, gotta' be fun!!! I took the District 4 Sportsman championship with an old LA-2, a little newer style than yours, but a ball to fly.

Good luck with the build, it'll fly great.

Ok, so I'm not a competition pattern pilot, but I'm going to be building a renovated Kaos design. Making it more of a widebody among other things.(yea, I know it sounds pretty funny) Hopefully I'll start practicing the sequences and might start competing. All this is assuming that I'm able to build this plane this year.(50/50 chance that I can't) But yes, I'm working on the design.

Glen,

As always, your Twister looks immaculate. I really liked your Partner at the Nats this year, that was the first time that I got to see your work in person and it was beautiful.

Did you Monokote the wings and stabs on the Twister? I remember you looking for an alternative a while back. Also, is the Brio to be e-powered? Those look like long gear legs. Take care.

Hello Ryan,

Twister wings, stabs and rudder are monokoted same as the Partner. Fuse painted with PPG. Early evaluation indicates this design to be a better all round performer than the Partner. Time will tell.

Pario will be YS powered…the gear was the standard offering with the Brio deluxe kits from piedmont.
