Nah - how about an Addy instead?

Might there be a little local preference there
Those are sweet planes. I have a buddy that has the e-flite cap 232 and I love that plane. I want the edge BAAAAAAD. It's only about 32" so it's easy to transport plus it uses electronics I already have so it will be cheap one of these days. I like the addiction planes a lot too though, there may be one in my future. I'm having to decide between all of my hobbies and planes are currently losing out. I just rebuilt my Blade 400 again.
Back on topic, that's pretty weird to have two different types of covering. I've never been up close to a doped plane. Is it something you can sand off? Does it tear up the wood really bad when it comes off?
