Hi Jeff

I am the owner of Elation Models and we construct all the parts.

Foam wing, tail, rudder, top and bottom rear deckings, glass underbelly. After being at the Nats last weekend, I am going to make a slight alteration to the wing and perhaps produce the front end in glass, matching up to a new cowl, to ease the carving required at the front.

lot of that going around nowadays! [8D]

I'm making a 110 sized plane with construction methods you just mentioned. I have the prototype built, just need to finish the composite parts. There is a real need (or at least "want" for planes of this size that really fly like pattern planes, not "pattern/3d" crap. The Focus sport over here looks pretty good, and I imagine there may be others coming soon. That would be my guess. I just want a cheap, quick built easy plane that I can practice FAI with. With the emphasis on cheap and quick without it's flying characteristics suffering.
