This is officially A Big Deal in the admittedly small world of 3D RC planes.

It is probably fair to say that EF and 3DHS, both American companies, have dominated 3D competitions over the past few years, with our own Precision Aerobatics getting an honourable mention. There are more similarities than differences, but in general each brand occupies a specific sub-niche:
EF - relatively heavy, built like a tank (my yellow 64" MXS being a good example), carries lots of momentum into tumbling maneuvers.
3DHS - jack of all trades, somewhere in between the other two
PA - relatively light, almost foamy-like behavior, emphasis on low 'n' slow.
As a side-effect of the merger, the combined entity (EF becomes the parent brand) is also introducing several lines of non-3D planes, though I expect (hope) the 3D stuff will remain their primary focus.
