The manufacturer has updated the website and now offers a lighter built version using balsa.
I think they are trying everything they can to please even those who bought the earlier versions.
JMHO
Well if I read correctly in that other forum, a fellow ordered a kit (thinking it would be the balsa kit because that was all that was mentioned on the website) and when he recieved the kit, it turned out to be all plywood with no rhyme or reason behind it. he then proceeded to build it and it came out over 2 pounds heavier than stated on the website...gee I wonder why, plywood perhaps. The manufacturuer told him nothing to that effect according to the forum....so even though they offer a balsa kit now, I am still leary about persuing it!
I guess we will have to see if Mosquitobite planes will guarantee they have removed the plywood. One thing's certain, the internet will ferret out the facts and ruthlessly report them!
In Mosquitobite's defense, the model in their video seems to fly very well, and a few builders really liked it. I almost bought one but I didn't like the cowl setup. I was waiting for the aftermarket fiberglass cowl. I'm looking forward to the updated kit.
