This plane looks great. Wood airframes are absolutely superior to EPO. EPO always has that bubble look to it. This airplane is smooth. The transparent covering is somthing you can't get with EPO. This plane has no mold de-airation or injection marks on this like you have in EPO. Value Hobby, please keep carrying these nicer looking wood airframes. They are so much better than a piece of foam. I have been flying this one for 8 months now, and it's holding up great.
