Default KMP "STORM" - Has Anyone Had/Seen One ?

I've been looking for a "different" bipe and came across this one by KMP. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge ?

What are your impressions ? Quality ? What does it weigh ? How did it balance with the ASP ? I'm thinking of a small, light ( but heavier than the ASP ) gas engine. Any info would be helpful. Thanks .....................

Should balance around the rear bolt of the top wing fixing mine needed at bit of weight to acheive that even with a 6v sub c nimh pack as far forward as i could get it. Quality woodwork pretty good covering is not the best and de-laminates tooo easily for my liking, the instructions have to be the worse set ive ever seen lots of omissions and errors

I Was Just Doing A Search For This Plane And Found This Thread. Has Anyone Flown One Of These Yet. Are They Indeed All Balsa Structure As KMP Advertises ? How Is The Performance ? Any Comments Would Be Helpful.

Thanks,
