I fully agree with you Kahloq. It's exciting that Cedar has taken a step most will never do and I like that they are asking for input. My comment regarding cutting your balsa is a tongue in cheek stab at those who nit-pick too much considering its an ARF. I do expect a certain level of quality and scale factor but for under $500 for an ARF of its size I find it hard to complain. Like you state, this also goes back to the manufacturer as far as whats financially feasable. If he is a 1 man operation then more power to him. So the rest of the hounds need to lay off the guy!!
