Chip,

first of all I really like the look of the new model.

Having purchased a CA model Eclipse from Aeroworks a few years ago I hope their quality does improve. It would be a better option for me as I like to build.

I do have a question regarding your talk with Marcelo and the improved raw materials used

"Marcelo and I had some long conversations about what its going to take to be able to compete with some of the planes coming from Japan and China. Since then they have made a few changes which will enable them to do just that. Most are in the quality of the raw materials. Everything from the epoxy used to lay up the fuselages, to the type of foam for the wings and stabs. In the end, the models from 6 months ago may look identical to these when setting next to one another, but these will be a few ounces lighter as well as stronger.


Since you brought it up and then showed us a photo of the quality wood used. Is this the quality standard we should expect?
