Hi Styk,

That’s just what I was looking for, somebody who has built and flown one before; I was reluctant to deviate from the plan but a bit worried about it.

The only other deviation from the plan, other than to save a little weight here and there, was to shorten the wing by 8", so I can get it in my car!, I worked out the new wing loading to about 25 oz per foot square and think it should be OK at that, especially as we fly from an often gusty and windy site. I would appreciate your thoughts regarding this, though it’s a little late to change it now as the wing sheeting is well under way!

Also what were/are they like to fly, I'm guessing at quite slow and floaty, any other suggestions are very welcome.

Many thanks,

John
