Shuttle Plus compared to Z, ZX and ZXX

[Tor Rasmussen]

As I understand the Hirobo Shuttle has changed label to Shuttle Plus.
I can aslo just find the one model Plus.

In eralier days the kit was put i three categories, Z, ZX and ZXX.
Z beeing the cheap one, and ZXX beeing loaded with ballbearings and
optionalpart.

The price on the Plus is very much the same as the Z was.

Does the Plus come in only one version (discarding with or without engine
versions)

How does this Plus compare to the Z, ZX or ZXX ?

What is the main differenses ? (As I understand one of them is top-start)

If I remember correctly (from a MHW article) the Shuttle Plus is the current
'basic' entry level Shuttle for learners. It's the bottom of the range, and
that isn't meant to make it sound worthless.

Is it right that the Shuttle is one the end of production ?
That it's a model that ain't gonna be continued ?

I see that the Singaporestore stille ads with Z, ZX, ZXX and Z-Ts. But no
PLUS. Are Singapore's pages out of date ?

Do any of you find the prices at the Singapore-site ?

I dont think it is being discontinued as somewhere else in this news group
in a similar dscussion was mentioned that there is the shuttle sceadu.

Prehaps they have jsut changed there shuttle product line? ie: the sceadu
and plus as the high and budget preformers, instead of ZXX, ZX and Z-TS etc
?

yeah I think you're right. The Shuttle isn't discontinued, and the Sceadu is
actually (unknown to some) a Shuttle Sceadu. So the Shuttle Plus fits right
in there, although the Sceadu is really quite different to the Shuttles is
design.
