Nothing like good ol' market forces to drive things up! The Vandal is
the hot ship on the west coast, and they are few and far between from
what I hear.
Get yourself three $300 Polecat Sidewinder II's and fly for years!

What I find interesting why is the Supra considered the bench mark ? who is
the soaring lord who made this decree?
The Supra is the most documented sailplane since it's release to the public,
with it's many issues depending what serial number you have. I can not agree
that fits a standard for

Joe Wurts who could fly any model he chooses, winning the Nats, coming to
Tullahoma and hand launching into a sky out 95% of the time did not hurt the
Supras anointing any too much.. YUP..Gordy knows!! (grin) Brian

That could be said of about any model Joe flys then. I have watched him
successfully HLG several different models out. One fairly heavy old beater
looking thing he was flying several years ago in Tulsa, I saw him launch out
several times in a row while shooting landing practice.
It hangs like an AVA.

When sitting around discussing a new or different sailplane design, often one
will hear phrases like, It launches like a __. Or, It ranges out like
a _.
Or, It hangs like a _. Or even, It lands like a _.
Once a sailplane is mentioned in one of those scenarios, that sailplane

I think those are almost exactly the same (but with a different body)
as the ones being sold at Target right now... and they are much stronger
than one of the same construction bought maybe a few months ago! A lot
of fun in a room with a high ceiling :)

There may be better or more talented pilots than I but there isn't anyone
with network experience in Soaring...but that hardly anoints me as the
determiner of what qualifies a sailplane as one of the bench mark ships in RC
history. That's a title that is earned by the model.

well Gordy just used up 14 paragraph to say nothing he must be on the road.
