This plane is BAD ASS.
I MUST HAVE ONE.

The construction is very cool.
It uses a lite ply/foam/lite ply sandwich for some of the fuse construction, foam sheeted belly and turtle deck, and foam sheeted wings. The plane looks killer in person. (and in the picture).
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!

I saw the real Slicks at oshkosh, they are a full composite edge that is slightly reduced in size and greatly in weight.

Huh? It is its own plane. I think it looks like an Edge and Extra 260 put together. the vertical looks like it is off an edge but I would not call it a copy by any means. I don't think being listed as 40 pounds heavier than an Edge, specs from their site, is greatly reducing weight.
