Status: offline 		Has anyone seen this animal yet? Looks like CMP takes a couple of the same airframe designs, changes the color scheme and cowling design a bit and re-names it. Looks like their Extra 330 but cool none the less. A little pricey though it may come down depending on the interest. I'd opt for the Extra (star and stripe design) for $169.00 before $250.00 for the Marathon.

Status: offline 		looks like a decent airplane. Might be a good plane for the new 26cc gassers that are making their way into the market.

Status: offline 		Looks like a nice plane but with the wild color scheme on the covering it would be hard to replace the covering if you had a mishap and needed to. Same issue with the Katana and the Giles 202. If they had a standard covering such as Monokote, Ultracote, etc. I'd be interested in the Giles 202. I had the older version that was green and white. Very nice flying plane with a 26cc gasser.

Status: offline 		At that listed weight it will be a dog to fly for 20 cc.

The picture in CMPro is using G20 engine. G20 will give very good vertical if its less than 10lbs. But at listed weight of 12lbs, it will be a dog. Maybe the G26ei will be better off but still ain't going to be fun with such small wing area.
