That would be an interesting question since Oxai has just produced prototypes based on the model that Suzuki builds. I would also venture a guess that not too many people besides Suzuki have even flown the original or the Oxai version model. I would say its way to early to compare. I know Suzuki was happy with the Oxai version and it has gone "into" production and there are many on order already here in the USA.

I think the model will fly well after all it got 2nd place at CAOCC just about a month ago. And it placed in the top 10 at the worlds last summer. SO its obviously a good model.

The one peice wing vs plug is a funny thing. I thinka one peice wing model is stiffer and stronger. I also know from doing the weights on the Pinnacles, Berylls, and Astral XX that the Astral models are about 3-4oz lighter than the plug in wing models. The new Hatori pipes even the long version like the 699 and the 821 are easy to manage with the one piece wing. Its not really and issue I don't think. The Oxai belly pans are a one touch release system they don't rattle in fact I don't think they can rattle the entire belly pan is notched intoa groove and there are just 2 screws to remove the wing. Yes a longer wing means a different transpot but you already are hauling a 2M fuse and the wings are shorter than that. As for shipping the Oxai planes in the US come in plywood crate. I have used these to ship my Pinnacles across the country and work well via air cargo. Shipping is under $100 depending on where you are going but it works well. The box accomodates the entire model and is the same size for Pinnacle or Astral.


On the plug in wing side its nice to not have any stands or craddles needed just set the model on its gear, pull the canopy off and attach the wings. Then bolt the canopy back on go fly it. With the one touch belly pan latches the one piece wing will be easy to manage also just requires you have a craddle to invert the model. I personally don't feel the Astral or a Zeque will work well for Electric. If you want E Powered get the Beryll its perfect for the electric setup. No chin cowl. The top of the canopy comes off and gives 100% access up front the plane is built and designed around electric. My opinion is its probably the best electric out there right now. Its light and strong, and flies well.

Back to the Zeque I think its a beautiful model and I like the looks of it.

If i find out something how it flies I will let you know.
