Now that you'll have a wood airplane and a glass airplane it will be interesting to see the difference in their flying quality's...Like one of Alan Jackson's song goes: "You can't beat the way an old wood boat rides.."

I'm predicting the wood airplane handles better in winds and is overall a smoother flyer...I predict the glass airplane is Very Responsive and Snappy...

I intend to build one of my Atlanta's with some Kevlar in order to dampen it a bit...See if you can get closer to that "wood feel"...I plan to use a 50/50 Graphite/Kevlar cloth for my "experiment"...

Oh Yeah..I PMed casniffer already..he he

If it's those two airplanes he showed in the For Sale Ad I don't believe they are Atlanta's...I "Think" they are actually Summits...I believe one of them is possibly the Summit II and the other one may be a Summit I...I'm not 100% positive though...

It seems all the airplanes I like look the same...lol

Have Fun...
