I think it was the fact that it was foam?? That doesnt bother me at all but for some people it would. They are asking on the upper end middle of the road price for a plane that was not a quick build style arf and everyone wondered about the repair. I have repaired foam, its easier than balsa, but Im just not sure everyone elese was ready to try it. They would have sold more had they been dirt cheap and "disposable" BUT the production isnt cheap and you cant take a loss just for everyone to have a plane. Too bad it didnt work out better.
