Chuperosa, now there's a plane that I haven't heard about for a while. I bought a used one from a friend that had already been bashed up pretty good before I got to it. Learned to fly ailerons with it. It was a pretty good plane. I always wanted to build a new one but never got around to it. I assume that they're no longer in production.

The Talon has been a favorite and mentioned on RCSE recently. The Super Ridge Runt was incredible FUN (appeared in Model Builder), but did require good lift. Our favorite to date has been the kit bashed Slop"Skeeter"--barndoor ailerons and elevator (Jan'94 RCSD cover). Our Tercel (appeared in Model Builder) saw a lot of slope time as did a Gnome, an Ariel (HOURS & HOURS of FUN all over Japan--and still in the hangar)-- a couple of Monarch's even. One kit still out there at Dream Catcher Hobby, Inc is Mark Hambleton's ole'Wind Weasel (now Wind Weasel II)--a built up--I kit bashed one with strip ailerons and it made for a good sloper(appeared in Model Builder--and resulted in it's being imported into Japan and still being sold here). When I was flying the Ariel or Gnome my son was usually flying his Gentle Lady--it also had a finger hold for RCHLG!!!!! May I add--it IS a sloper but sheeted wings and you asked for built up--one of the pretttiest birds on the slope and one that has always had good reports AND still available is the NSP Sparrow--mine appeared years ago in an ole'Wil Byers Model Aviation column, very pre S&EM--it hangs in the ceiling and begs to fly--I built it at 13 oz!
