Jerry,

As you know, I do not like skegs.  Usually stopping in less than an inch travel, skegs give a severe shock to the sailplane and hard mounted electronics.  I know of three competition sailplanes and one prominent contestant that have been physicaly damaged (or injured) this year caused by using skegs.

With normal ground - air turbulence,  I only use tape-on skids to provide resistance and stop the sailplane, usually with some directional control, in a few inches rather than several feet.

Since we would have to land without skids or skegs at Chicago, I'm not interested.

I will sell you the four 141s for $90.00 without shipping.
