Sorry, guys. Mid October.

I may build a Fliton Protigy while I'm waiting. I've wanted one of those since day one.

And speaking of which, when you look at the Pulse, it's easy to see why I haven't built that Protigy yet. Everything on the Pulse is real wood except for the fiberglass cowl and , of course, the canopy. The Protigy uses whimpy plastic for the hatch cover and cowl. It's probably ok, but I just don't like it.

I like real wood for a lot of reasons, mostly because I think it will hold up better than the plastic. Alot of this is left over paranoia from the slimer days when all that vibration would fatique plastic cowlings and such, and eventually make them fall apart. And alot of it is because real wood covered like the rest of the plane looks better. Plastic just looks cheap.

I much prefer E Flite's way of building real airplanes out of real wood. I'm going to build a protigy because the videos I've seen show the plane really grooves and tracks well, but I don't think it's going to look as good or hold up as well as a Pulse.

I don't think we're under any illusions that the Pulse is going to out fly the Protigy, but it sure looks teriffic.
