i have to say i agree with most of the comments. its just that everyone has a different tolerance for scaleness. lets look at the kyosho geebee, which i believe adheres to piper chuck's notion that 95% of them crash on the first flight. it's a great scale rendition of the geebee but a monster to fly (so my friend, who's first flight ended up in cartwheels, says). on the other extreme there are the world models aircombat series which look absolutely un-scale. then there are all those in between.

i bought this geebee because it was easier to fly (guaranteed by the LHS owner) and looked still cute. of course i would like it to look more scale but then that is the tradeoff i'm willing to make on this plane.
