Default RE: OXAI new model----------Astral XX

Personally, I thnk the OXAI represent excellent value for money compared to the french products. By the time you add all of the other costs associated to building the model I dont think there is much if any difference except the model is built for you ( that is a huge benefit)

The weights would be comparable somewhere between 100-300 grams and as far as fligh performance goes well there is CPLR who could win with any model.

Once the Matts start flying OXAI I am sure the results will come.

I have been flying the ZN-Line Alliance for some time. Not a bad model but it requires a ridiculos amount of Rudder to Elevator mix to maintain straight knife edge flight. Therefore I dont agree that the French products fly with less mix.
