Well, I would like to add my last thought here regarding the value of the modern, quite expensive 2 meter wide bodied patternship. I could tell you that the cost is because of the exacting precision or the exotic materials that make it not only extremely light weight but incredibly strong too. And with those comments, you can use your eyes and hands and all your measuring devices and see that I am not exaggerating.

And then I can tell you that the result of all of that effort, precision and technology result in an airplane that is heads better than anything you may have flown before, and you will simply never understand the truth and meaning of those word until you pull one vertical and perform a perfect 8 point roll without even thinking about it. When you lay it onto knife-edge and coast by in level flight at 20mph and your eyes become as big as saucers, and then you pull and push on the elevator and the airplane simply changes track without any noticable coupling, then you will start to see what you payed for is something truly special. And when you can fly that airplane for one thousand flights and find the airframe as straight and as solid as during the first flight (I do recommend replacing your servo gears regularly because you WILL notice the play during flight; every 150-200 flights should do), then you may never again hesitate to spend that money again.

I write this only from memory of what happened to me when I first took my Majestic into the air. I could not close my mouth or stop exclaiming joy for the duration of the six flights that afternoon.

I wish everybody could experience that feeling.
