Roedel Models
I fly the little Fox and love it! Roedel makes very good birds. Good quality and good instructions and good flying. Highly recommended! ( and I don't even get paid to say that) 
BTW, that is my 2.8m Fox on their web site.

Rodel quality
I am in the process of putting the finishing touches on a 4.2 meter Rodel ASK 21. The craftsmanship and materials have been some of the best I have seen on the smaller (under 4 meter) ships I have seen. The instructions on mine have left a little to be desired, but with a little patience and imaginiation, it was no real problem. I would not hesitate to buy another one of his kits if the price is right.

tdeliman, you will like the ASK21. It thermals VERY well and is big enough to get out there where they are. My tow pilot friend has one (he gets on the other end of the line at times). It is also very easy to toss off the slopes. Drawback: she pays for the thermalling ability when it comes to speed but that is more or less expected.

Instructions!!!
WOW a German scale sailplane with instructions! I didn't know there was such a thing. 
Seriously though I have seen several Roedel kits and they look great. Do you have any other scale sailplanes Brian? We are going to hold a scale sailplane event here in Illinois next June 13-15 at the fullscale gliderport in Monticello, JR Aerotow. If you get the Fox done in time we are also going to hold an aerobatic sailplane competition during the event. We've got a growing group of power aerobatic guys (including Peter Goldsmith and Mike McConville of TOC fame) who have been bitten by the sailplane aerobatics bug and will be there.
Hope you can make it!
