Anyone else got any winter builds in the queue ?

Yes, as a matter of fact I do.  I am rebuilding the center panel of Dark Side of the Merle that I crashed.  The one outer panel is already repaired and the other was damage free.  The tailboom and tails were good but the forward pod was trashed and I received the new one last week.

Then I had a prominent European Sailplane designer design me a Light Class triangle Racer, as in everything…airfoils/planform/etc….I’m under an NDA for that but I do believe I can say who it is but let me ask first.

Then I’m saving my pennies and I think I’m going to purchase a Sport Class Triangle Racer, <5m span and 5-7kg flyable weight.  Either new/used.  I’m still shopping but a Chilli GPS Racer is looking promising.  http://www.valentamodel.cz/en/index.php/chilli-a37  A Baudis Calvados would be preferred but that’s too pricey for me, even used.

It was nice to have taken last winter off building with the changes at work but now it feels good to get back into the swing of things in the shop.

I’m having a very difficult time sourcing Highload 40 foam though.  I did find one place but with shipping they wanted $185.  Yikes!
Anyone have a source for it?

I hope I’m not biting off more than I can chew this winter as I still have that Jay Oh Bee.
