Default The Matrix, it does exist!

I dunno guys. I eagerly ran home today (after seeing BotleRocketWar's post about the Goldberg Matrix being real) to see my copy of MA. After being slightly disappointed with the looks/cost of the Razor, I thought that surely the Matrix couldn't disappoint... Well, the covering looks *better*, but it's still a lot like the Razor. And then there is that "ugly" factor.

I was really looking (and, well, I still am ) for a replacement for my Venus (RIP). At 5lbs exactly (RTF, dry) with a Saito .72 it was a REALLY fun plane-- and for around $150 a decent price. No, it doesn't have an air-foiled tail and isn't that good at 3D, but it really is a nice little package. I was amazed when I first saw the covering scheme out of the box (yeah, even the pink wings are kinda cool-- nice copy of the Japanese/Chinese pattern ships). I just really wish that GP would make a 90 or 120 size of this plane (and add air-foiled tail, increase 3D capability, and keep the price decent! )

As for price on the Matrix, my guess is that it will be higher than the Razor...
