Dear Rob, Yes I agree it is a better word, inexpensive rater than cheap. They are all going well the Long wing and short wing, Boomer and GB 4 all had great flights at the rally. I will forward you a copy of the report when done. I'm off to Hervey Bay next week to collect a Kingfisher to look after for a mate of mine, and there's a chance of a K6 e wing in Europe for EA. Trust you and Colleen are keeping well. You know I think I would rather trust a wood and casein glued glider as opposed to one glued with other products. That goes for some older glass machines, the glass isn't a problem its the metal fittings one has to watch.
