Default RE: Great Planes 25% Pitts M-12s 3D

I went through the Manual and there is NO WAY this plane will come in at 20lbs!,,,
I could see 17lbs easy...
There is less wood than in the Aeroworks pitts....
but the GP pitts looks larger...in the Fuse and rear rudder....
The wings look lightweight, and they have CF rods for support...
Has a really nicely done fiberglass cowl, and included baffling..but not scale...
but then it looks like all the other top manufactures so no complaints there...
really nice color scheme...

cons...
If you look at the close up shots of the plane, the covering isn't perfect but looks pretty good...
But that was done on a prototype, so we will see
The aeroworks pitts looks like it has ALL the details and all the little things covered in the Manual...
and the AW has nice details....like a pretty convincing radial engine baffling...
