"KMP now imports CMP (maybe others) "
now thats a first lol , are you saying that CMP Is now making the new line for KMP ??? or that KMP is importing CMP under the CMP brand ???
China Model Products is a manufacture just like ESM , I would be surprised if they win the cake to build the new KMP line but hey nothing is that shocking .
Considering that esm is now being sold at $300 to $500 its makes the old CMP planes unattarctive in value and quality vs the $300 line of ESM planes .
