I presume you mean a 120 4s which would equate to a 90 2s. If so, check out the Javelin 90 and Accipter at paylessflymore.com.

Pattern plane flyers are an endangered community. Grace is out, technique is in. Before the flak starts, let me clarify that I am not knocking anything. But I do miss seeing people fly with the fluidity of most, if not all, pattern manoeuvres.

Not to hijack the thread, possibly also discuss:

- What is it??
- what is pattern flying all about, history
- what makes it special (or otherwise)
- what is or are "patterns"/manoeuvres??

Yes was looking for a 120-180 4 stroke size. I got the javellin 90 from paylessflymore a couple of years back, and recently got my Saito 1.25 on it. Even though the covering quality is so-so, and i had to replace nearly all hardware that came with it, i just love the flying qualities of the plane.
these days everyone seems to be talking about Yak, Extra and Edge. These are definitely great planes, but I just love the grace of patten planes , with a sleek profile and a long fuselage.

Ever since, i started flying, pattern airplanes, and flying attracted me. Somehow to me doing a hover does not hold as much of a charm as doing nice big (and accurate) loops or cuban eights with a pattern plane.

Accipiter looks like the one i will be going in for. But ideally would have got Swallow from CMPro http://www.cmpairplane.com/aerobatic/Swallow.html
Or something from CA models etc. but perhaps a distant dream with the import ban currently in place.

Pattern ships like on http://www.camodel.com.ar/default.htm is what I am after.
Can anyone import these in India ? Just love it when the fuse length starts exceeding the wingspan.
Need one airframe for my Saito 180 !!!

Check out this video below . Pattern flying is all about discipline grace and elegance. Look at how smoothly the airplane flies, maintaining the same distance from the video at all times and precise control the pilot has over it.
