Derek,

Given the other options on the market today, I think the price point for this model is unbelievable! I've been telling myself over and over all day that ''I don't need another plane; I don't need another plane; I don't need another plane'', but all of a sudden I'm thinking . . . hmmm . . . . maybe I need another plane


Have you flown a demo of these?
What do you estimate as the total assembly time?
Is there a firewall option for a Pletty?
Will you be flying this at the Nats?
Can you photograph the gear plate area? Do you feel the gear will be robust when compared to say something like the Integral?


By the way thanks for taking the time to explain the build in such detail. It's really a big selling point for me!

Hi Joe,

I'll have more detail up tomorrow night... I can't speak about the Integral since I don't recall the gear plate but I'll have some pics for you. There is a firewall option - yes. As for the total assembly time. I think I've spent about 8 hours total now - probably about another 2 hours for the motor and battery tray. Then its off to go and fly.

Yes, I'll definitely be at the Nats and will have both the EP and GP versions there.
