Not seen one but so much of the new stuff is garbage. I have one that looks very similar to this but it much older and it works really well. But if they made a duplicate of this ol plane I would expect it to cost at least $100 and probably more. So judging by price I will take Robs word for it that is crap without any surprise.

The old ones are much better made and will last a lot longer. But, not everyone has the know now or the desire to buy an old one and tune it up. If you do, I think you would be much better off. I had a guy I would have sent you too without hesitation but he died a while back. I would buy anything he had on his word, never was disappointed either.

Back your question, yes, you would get a much better product with a high priced plane if you want to buy new. I just can't bring myself to spend the money though but that is me.
