Default RE: matrix or razor 3d

I only can read the numbers and look at the pics. With that small amount of input, I just cant get behind the Martix 3D.

First, it was to be the ARF Seduction, but now the Razor is in that spot. For my taste, the Matrix looks cheap, and appears to be a bit larger. It may even cross into the Saito 100 size plane, depending on the true weight. Anything past about 5.75 pounds, really wants more than the Saito 72, and perhaps even more than the YS 63.

The Razor, at least comes in a choice of colors. None of them really speak well to me, and if I get one, all I'll ask for is one of the ones with a white cowl. I'll re-cover it in my own colors. There was an RCU member that went to see Bubba and he saw a completed plane and reported that it was 4.5 pounds with everything except a battery, so 4.75 should be fairly close to reality.

I'd like to see one myself, and decide about buying one. Hobby Town USA helped me do that with a Funtana, and I was much happier seeing the plane first. I got burned once buying a "first run" plane. I'll not do that again, unless a few very reputable people tell me the quality and weight first.
