A wood fuze probably is heavier than the fiberglass one. If the power system is electric (a trend?), the weight requirement is hard to meet with the wood type.

A kit version of Passport probably will sell very well because of the design. The reduced price will be compensated for by the quantity sold.

I myself am looking for a good 2X2 and do not want to worry about the mid-air of a $$$ airplane with other sports planes at my busy field. The power will be electric.
