About time, but...

A couple of points. Why didn't they mold an accurate cowl with the current lower inlet design.

Second, Since they center hinged the ailerons, likely using the long rod hinge axel shaft they've used for so long, have they addressed the hinge pin hole wear issue and inserted a bearing at each hinge location from the beginning, or will that again be something the owner has to fix later?

Canopy to small for me! I like the big carden canopy, or shall i say bigger carden canopy. To me looks better with larger canopy. I do however like the counter balance on the ailerons!! Very cool!!
Thanks,

In that scheme I'll bet $1,490. All white probably about $1,190.

That's not too bad. I also wonder if they will go with a single aileron servo. The split cowl is a nice touch.
