Putting any editorial bias speculations aside, no one can buy the Classic
Europa anymore.
It seems to me that SportAv publishes those reports for planes that people
can actually
buy and build right now. CAFE would need to do a test on the XS. I guess
they'll have
to wait for Kim to finish his.
Also note that the trigear just recently got a cover story in SportAv.
