My advice is NOT to buy VMAR for the next 6-8 months, soon they will run out of that cheap wood they call "cotton wood", then you will have good balsa. This was the same for Black Horse, Phoenix. If you look at Black Horse ... they use balsa and its all laser cut. It will happen for VMAR soon too. The truth about VMAR is that its badly manufactured (method and material) but they do fly nice.
