<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your reply. The design looks
good to me. Everything is easily accessible and it has a good look.
Now all we need is a few flying reports. Please keep me posted about
yours.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=610523422-05012004><FONT color=#0000ff
face="Comic Sans MS">I have one, but as yet still not
built. I don't really know what I can tell you about it.... I guess
the best piece of advice I can give you is to go through an importer (
like Central etc) unless you are quite confident that the whole importing
process will not faze you. I had considerable difficulty importing the
models to Australia.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=610523422-05012004><FONT color=#0000ff
face="Comic Sans MS">Now assuming you actually get/got one...... the
plane looks like it will be a good performer. Speaking as a guy who designed
all his own for many years, the Lazulite is not a ground breaking
design but rather an evolution ( which model isn't?) and seems to
utilize some design philosophies to which Wolfgang and Roland Matt
subscribe. I think the Lazulite will be a solid performer, just like the
Smaragd......and it has a much better belly pan
idea! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=610523422-05012004><FONT color=#0000ff
face="Comic Sans MS">Now that the US dollar is going south. I would imagine
that the cost would increase. So if this is a factor, you need to balance up
the gains you make in time saving of a kit vs scratch vs dollars. In my
case I needed to save time...but I still need to justify the cost to
the family on a weekly basis!!!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=610523422-05012004><FONT color=#0000ff
face="Comic Sans MS">Kit wise, the glass work is exceptional. The sheeting
work is good too, but what really lacks is good English in the instructions
and with that perhaps more comprehensive instructions which include
measurements...but I may work on that if PL allows me to ( I need to
speak with them first).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=610523422-05012004><FONT color=#0000ff
face="Comic Sans MS">If you like the look of the model, and you have some
cash to burn...give it a try, I'm sure it will be a great
plane.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
