You will see me at many more next season I'm sure. I missed a bunch this year due to my main plane being down (because of wings), and not having my Opium ready like I should have. Oh, and the no work in the last 4 months has kinda killed it.. haha.. Being a small general contractor doesn't pay off really.

As for your wings, well they speak for themselves as does the rest of your building abilities! So just speaking the truth. When things pick up for me, I'll be getting a set from you for sure. I think foam is mainly how many of these companies should be building these wings. Too many failures should tell them that. I don't get it really, it's so easy to do foam wings vs built up IMO. I've always said that the composite wings of the Abbra are the strongest/lightest/best wings (I know there are lighter) I had seen. They did them right IMO.

Agreed...WIST Model does good work. Ed Alt's Prestige (glow) and Dave Lockhart's Bravos (electric) have to be close to 1000 flights by now. Ed's Prestige is less than 10 pounds or right at it with the 170 up front. That's a nice weight
