It sure seems a clone in all appearances. Do you know about internal differences?, does it weight 1000 lbs, lighter?

Tom,

It's not really a clone, it's not an exact copy, Haighton's must have had a UM to model it on, but they then designed their own parts to suit their facilities. If you look at my web site: http://haighton.webhop.net most of the internal parts are on display.
