Hi Jeffand everyone else who replied

Thanks for all the good advice. I was going to put an SC 61 in mine but maybe I should up it to the 74 or 91 as they are all the same size dimensionally and almost of equal weight. I was interested in the statement regarding the high glide speed which I guess must be due to a reasonably high wing loading. I have a DeBolt Custom bipe powered by a Laser 70 which is dream to land dead stick but it has a pretty light wing loading. This model is 46 years old and has been the testbed for dozens of engines over the years including Super Cyke sparkie. Never had any major damage to it, which is the more than I can say with more recent models. I usually manage to hit the perimeter fence when dead sticking but I am always convinced I can make the strip!!! It's called "old age" or something more sinsiter! Like your picture Jeff and could do with details of how you attach the wheel pants to the gear (spats here in UK) as my plan gives no details. Managed to get a few flights in this afternoon, probably the last this year due to the dreadful weather in UK at present. Envy you lot who live in more temperate states. I miss the heat from when I worked for Lockheed Georgia and flew with Cobb county club.

Wish you all a happy Xmas in advance of the day.

Tony
