Everette. Is a mama san plane one made in the orient? The Krill factory produces planes in the Czech Republic to the best of my knowledge.
More sothan in anytime I can remember we have the largest choice of pattern planes available to us. I've come to expect some issues with any ofthem. Wewould like to think that making pattern planes is arefined process but I'd say it isn't. I think for the most part these are cottage industries and short cuts are taken to make aprofit.
The best planes I've seen from a quality standpoint versus price arethe JMComposite planes like the Leviosa and the Gaudius.

Jaroslaw limits his production to about1 plane a week.
I have a few finish issues with my Jesky schemeSpark Dynamic but for the most part its a solidly built plane.
Also Dave Snow is a great asset to have in my back yard. He built my all woodwing and anhedral stab with all the modifications that he and AJ have been developing over theyears. I haven't been this stoked about a new planesince I got myLosardoEdition Integral 4 years ago. Mike Mueller
