help !!
The phone rep for Northeast Sailplanes should look for another job. They do have excellent products and are usually very helpful. Don't be put off by that one person on the phone. Other manufacturers also have excellent kits and ARFs. N.E. doesn't have a corner on the market. The best solution I can offer is to check with the people at your field or club. Those who have built and flown several aircraft can check your flying ability and your building skills and usually have good answers and recommendations.
