<p class="MsoNormal">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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.
<a href="http://www.valentamodel.cz/en/index.php/chilli-a37">http://www.valentamodel.cz/en/index.php/chilli-a37</a> A Baudis Calvados would be preferred but that’s too pricey for me, even used.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m having a very difficult time sourcing Highload 40 foam though. I did find one place but with shipping they wanted $185. Yikes!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone have a source for it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope I’m not biting off more than I can chew this winter as I still have that Jay Oh Bee.
