Status: offline 		Does anyone know what the difference between the Smaragd, and the Smaragdz? I've looked all around, but can't find any information.
Also, what do you all think is the best aircraft for PURE PATTERN?
Thanks,
Robert.

The Smaragd is the first version of the plane. The new Z model is a wider fuse with the wings changed for better snapping ablities. I will be ordering a Smaragd Z after the Nats. I will have a YS DZ in it and futaba 9450's all the way around.

Status: offline 		Is there anything else special about it? When will you order it? Will you get the standard kit, or one prebuilt?
Please tell me how you get on, as this is one of the planes I am thinking of getting!
Thanks,
Robert.

Status: offline 		After talking to Pete Collinson and QUIQUE they both told me that they were wider body. I think after talking to my friend pete just getting his after ordering his 1 month after the nats. I will probably put half down on the thing soon to be in line for it. I will be getting the standard with sheeted wings. I will also get the honeycomb sheets for it.

Status: offline 		I've just started my first Ltd. which is my first four stroke, and I can say that it is an ANIMAL. To produce more power out of the same size must have been hard!
Anyone else try it?
