To me it justs comes down to dollars for how much more quality? Mfr.sug. retail price $370.00 compared to $190.00.
I'm still not a fan of the foam-board planes; although I do fly
the Hobbico 60 size Extra foam-board. My flying skills have
improved greatly since I flew my old EZ 40 size Laser. That
plane began looking like an accordian but still flew great. So
far I haven't dinked the Extra but I'm not anxious to cut foam
to put in a plug patch. I'd much rather cut away covering to
repair balsa then reseal film patch.
