ORIGINAL: Columbo
I have been considering this plane. One thing I do see different from the original is the wings seem to be built up rather than foam sheeted. The original was a very good plane except for one thing. It was too heavy (26-28 lbs). Built up wings would lighten the plane a bit. The advertised weight is 22-24 lbs. A weight of 22 lbs (maybe with a zdz 80) would be awesome for a plane this size. The new color scheme is better too.

The original has built up wings. However, they are fully sheeted which makes them a bit heavy. Same goes for the tail. The construction of this plane looks exactly the same except for the lack of full sheeting on the wings and maybe tail.
