Default Composite 42% Sbach 342

Next week, I'm off to China to visit a couple of ARF factories and try to work out some sensible QC standards and other things for planes I have been importing.
In the trip, I am also going to visit the makers of a new Composite 42% Sbach I have been eying out but not been prepared to order a sample of due to the high cost associated

Here are a few pictures.
Published specs indicate flying weight of 19.2Kg (with a 3W 170) which if true is probably not bad for a plane of this size

If I like the workmanship on the plane, I'm going to buy one for myself and possibly arrange for a shipment of a few of them for resale
It should make a nice home for my MVVS 152cc Twin Spark

I didn't see they are using core?

Do you have higher resolution images?

This is partly why I'm going over there. I want to see for myself if the plane is any good.
Actually, it's quite a bit cheaper for me to go there than order a sample that turns out to be a dud

I've talk to them a few times myself, wish they had a 100cc sbach. Check out the extra when you're there.
Good luck on your endeavours, I decided to pass.
