The plane has a girth to it, and just looks really solid when you open it up.

Also, the foam is fuel and paint and glue resistant!
Has can tunnels and mounts inside already...

And the weight is slated to be 37 - 38 lbs.
Thing is BAD ASS!
Just want to add that the foam that is fuel proof is the foam in the fuselage sides only. The white foam on the hatch cover, turtle deck and the belly are not fuel proof (standard white foam). This is the same on the 75cc and the new 100cc planes.

If anyone has any questions about the Slick 540 just ask, I have the plane and will be getting it in the air soon.
