Tim, I thought the same thing at first. If you go to Great Planes web site and double click on the photo of the unassembled parts (to enlarge photo) you can barely see small seams where the bottom of the fuse comes apart. This looks like a great plane but I' still leaning to the Extase as it looks like it comes in a 1 1/2 lighter for $30 more.
