It looks better than the BFGoodrich, aka Patty Wagstaff I'm guessing, because of the mid wing design in my opinion. The fact that it's lightly built is the attraction for me. I fully understand the frailties of models built like this.
Given the use of Ply instead of Balsa and an experienced flyer like you, this shouldn't be a big problem...
I'm banking on the same thing with the similiarly built larger 540T.
