Mario,

I just spent a week in Germany and have concluded that you Germans do everything right from the Autobahn to beer. It may cost more but it's definitely worth it. [8D]

Looking forward to the videos when it's done.

Cheers,

PaulD

Dear PaulD,

Schweighofer is a Austria Company

We Germans make perfekt beer, build BMW and Audi, build perfekt Autobahnen, developed the original AlphaJet with the French and have no humor.

But Austria guys jump out of space and build model-RC-jets in 1:2,58

Best regards

Markus

Markus,

Oh, I guess I did jump to conclusion. [&:]

Sorry about that. Guess the Austrians feel pressure to out-do the Germans.

PaulD

Hi PaulD,

don&acute;t worry about that. Its obvious to mix up Germans and Autstrians. They are neighbours, speak also a kind of german language with a terrible slang

and yes, in fact, it seems so that they want to out-do us.

Best regards
Markus

hmm im confused...?

inthe start its said 1:4, and i see pictures of at layup of af wing, and suddently the model is in foam and gigantic ?

are you making 2 sizes?
