LOL!! I like it in a twisted sort of  way.
 
I said my piece on RCU (albeit a tad  forcefully, but what else would you 
expect). The only things I would  mention differently would be to include both 
the Panacea and the Symphony  in the "that's more like it!" category. Granted I 
have no idea how either  one flies, but they look right....or very very close. 
And the price is not  stupid. Also the Mantis looks acceptable, except the 
one piece wing is  something I don't personally care for. Not that it's a badt 
hing, it has  it's advantages, but I prefer a 2 piece wing for myself. From 
what I've  seen, the quality is there.
 
If you read that thread, you'll see very  clearly what the problem is. 
Overpriced, lousy and non existant support,  and they won't admit it when there's a 
problem. How else do you get  something fixed if you're not allowed to say 
that a problem exists in the  fist place? But certain individuals will be fast to 
tell you if you don't  fly one, you aren't good enough. That one alone makes 
me choke. And it  riled up my temper, and makes me SO much more determined to 
be successful  with a plane that is NOT made by PL or ZN. 
 
Guys, fly what ya want. If you want an $8000  plane, fly it. If you want a 
pile of sticks, carve it and FLY IT. But  don't tell someone who's making do 
with something different he's flying a  "roach", or that he CAN'T make it a 
certain weight. Never ever tell a  living breathing determined human being that he 
can't do something,  because he WILL do it if he has half a pair.
 
Personally I do have something different in  the shop, and I hope it will 
serve me well. But the main problems I have  with the european kits is the 
ridiculous price tag, the lack of support,  and then the utter REFUSAL to take 
responsibility for thier own screw ups  in MANY MANY cases. Good luck to you who 
need parts, let us know how it  turns out.
 
Heh...."Concubine".....somehow I'm thinking  about farm equipment now =/

What a great  name for a pattern plane. . . .. Mike Hester, are you still 
looking for  a name for your new design?? 
I can see it  now: “Hey Keith, are you going to bring your CONCUBINE to the 
contest  this weekend??”. . .. . (hehehehe)
