Kind of echoing what Eric says, I've got a new Focus 2 kit in the
garage, waiting for me to mess it up<G><br>
Looks as if I'll be hard pressed to make many mistakes. Don't know
about flying, but I like the looks of this kit even more than the focus
1. And I figure that one was hard to beat.<br>

<div><span class="820122615-15012004">The ARF is probably the best
deal to get a plane in the air. You can add lots of trim and decals to
individualize your plane. I have weighed all the parts of both the ARF
and the ARC. This will be a much lighter Focus than its predecessor.
The wing panels are 11-12 oz, covered!</span></div>

<div><span class="820122615-15012004">They have looked at the
weaknesses of the original and done something about it. The UC mounting
plate is extensively modified, a lot like a Temptation - no big
surprise there. It comes with two sets of gear legs. One for your field
Marguerite, and one for hardtop, much smoother runways. The fin is
conventionally thicker and easier to install. The wings and stab are
pretty close to the established Temptation format.</span></div>

<div><span class="820122615-15012004">The cowl is more
aerodynamically streamlined and is pre-fitted to the fuselage. The best
part is that you can have access to the fuselage from both above and
below. The new Focus has removable canopy/deck that just makes life so
much simpler.</span></div>

<div>Hi Eric& "All" </div>
<div> Happy New Year and a Happy year of Flying.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Nice pictures of the Focus. I plan on also flying a Focus this
year. I am not sure If I want to cover it or buy it covered.
There seems to be a lot of excellent reports on this plane. </div>
<div> Looks like the ELAN I have been flying for 7 1/2 years will
only be used as a back up plane. I enjoyed the Elan it is a great
plane but something new would be nice.</div>
