I just called and spoke with Billy @ Wing Manufacturing (same phone number) and placed an order for a Phoenix 5 kit ($165 plus shipping). Other fiberglass and foam kits are to follow, such as the Beachcomber, Nutcracker, Daddy Rabbitt, etc.

I have yet to see a fiberglass and foam "kit" come out as light as a fully wood kit that has been built with contest grade balsa. So, if one wants to "cheat" in order to gain an advantage, all balsa might be the way to go, not fiberglass and foam. I''m satisfied with the performance of fiberglass and foam models, so I won''t complain if I have to fly against those super light weight all balsa models.
