Retired is not all that its cracked up to be, yeah you may have a little more time to yourself but as a rule your using it to sleep or rest up from your last endeavor *LOL* Enjoy your youth while you can the years fly by like days after you reach a certain age.
The Extra is looking good A friend of mine had the DLE 55 in his and it flew fine for him, the weight is the thing to watch and it appears your doing that.
The DL 50 in mine is a little lighter than the 55 and I felt was a perfect match. I suppose I am going to have to get the Cap to get a wing for my plane and get it back in the air. I can copy the wood for the wing and have both planes if I want.
