The quality of the kits in terms of pinholes etc, is tops. Ewan does a very good job on the fuses. The foam cutting is excellent and the parts fit is good. There are no wing fillets moulded into the fuse, so the wing skins overhang the root by about 15mm and you have to shape them the fuse. There are two rolls of full size plans, and an instruction booklet that covers all major issues. This was my first glass, foam kit and with a bit of help from fellow modellers I completed a successful model. Yes I agree the only problem may be the shipping as they are fairly large. You would have to email Ewan Galloway about that. (His email address is on Frazer Briggs page, under photos then Matrix.

If you want a copy of the instructions I will email it to anyone who wants it (.PDF). Email me at: [email protected]

The fuse design is based on a Typhoon 2000, but uses different airfoils, and flys much better. I believe Chip Hyde had some input into the selected airfoils. I'm only 19, and have only flown a handfull of F3A models but from what I've experienced and been told they are top notch. There is a guy in New Zealand who has a Angel's Shadow, and is having a Matrix built for him as well, so that has got to say something.

If theres anything else you would like to know please ask.
