Chuck,
Alex's stuff is just fantastic! this is the 5th design (that I know of): Radiance, Europa Pro (all wood and composite versions, Contrast, Audax, Vortex. What is ironic about the ARF market is that all those planes start life as a laser-cut kit. Several years ago (probably 10), I tried to get Oxai to sell me an unbuilt (aka 'kit') version of one of their pattern offerings. No way, $5,000 for an ARF or nothing. There are still builders out there, but numbers are dwindling :-(

Thanks Will. I sent Matt the link to this thread, so i think he will post here later but now he is busy preparing for the Nats.
Vortex is my 3rd design, the first was Radiance followed by Audax. I have a lot more on my hard drive, but they were not developed beyond the basic concept stage.

As far as i know, the Contrast and Europa Pro are designed and produced by a team in Lithuania. Great designs, but they are not mine.
