that each model has cost me close to 3 grand (Australian) each. The
airfreight was a fortune and I got hit big time by customs ( 10% tax) and
various other duties. You may not suffer the same fate in the US, so it may
work out cheaper than in my case.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

looks good to me. Everything is easily accessible and it has a good

<DIV><SPAN class=610523422-05012004><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
color=#0000ff>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 face="Comic Sans MS"
color=#0000ff>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 face="Comic Sans MS"
color=#0000ff>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 face="Comic Sans MS"
color=#0000ff>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 face="Comic Sans MS"

burn...give it a try, I'm sure it will be a great
plane.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
