Woohoo! AW quality and light weight = Gotta have one!

looks great. You can see areas where they concentrated on making things light

Looks good!!

It appears the model could be made even lighter using a lighter motor mount setup (nylon tubing) rathen than the one shown in the picture.

AW is definitely moving in the right direction!!

BTW - Torque motors and EF Airboss esc's are excellent additions!!!!!

I NEED!! Airfoiled tail surfaces are a nice touch. I'll be happy to test this against my 51" Slick if they need someone...

Video?

Debute usually means introduced, rarely does it mean for sale.
