Pl Lazulite

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Jimbo that's terrible. I am sorry to hear that story. 
Money doesn't grow on trees.

With that in mind, one has to wonder why buy the Europeans when the American 
crop fly so well. 

Did anyone else see the latest post on RCU in the pattern column? It was by 
none other than our reigning F3A National Champ re: the Focus 2. 

And the Focus2 is only one of several excellent domestic offerings 
(Temptation, Aries, and Panacea come immediately to mind)  with their domestic price 
tag. I don't get it. What's the catch? I bought one of these mega Euro planes two 
years ago and it flies great but not greater than these American planes. 
Sooooo, I ask again: WHAT'S THE CATCH?
