Hey,

I agreed with LDM. Buy the VQ version, then strip ALL covering and reinforce any questionable joints then recover in Ultracote. It has much better outline than the H9. I have not seen the new CMPro P-40 but I hope that the body will have thicker fiberglass than their past offerings. A major problem with thin FB body is that it tends to flex and CRACK the gel coat or your paint if you have a rough landing. I personally would check out the CMP one because FG body gives you details that cannot be found in traditional balsa planes such as air scoups, rivets, panel lines and airfoil stabs. Dai
