I was talking to a new pattern fellow this week end and he explained to me<BR>
the new plane that he is building this winter. It is called a "Wide Body"<BR>
from Colombo Anderson in Argentina. It is sold by Planes Plus (web site<BR>
www.planesplus.com) The 60/90 size kit is only $199. This seems to be a very<BR>
good price and it looks like it may be a great pattern plane for a beginner<BR>
of someone with limited funds. Apparently, there will also be a 120/140 size<BR>
kit available soon. My question is; has anyone some first hand knowledge<BR>
about this plane/ kit? A review can be seen in Jan, 2003, MA, page 148. I<BR>
believe we all would like to know more about new airplanes on the market<BR>
that can help us reach out to new pattern interested fellows.<BR>
