You are right, NC is North Carolina. I would be very happy to buy your Alpha but I'm not going to be anywhere near Winston Salem this weekend. (A 2 week old boy is keeping my travel plans limited to work, home and the diaper/formula store!) I'm in the Raleigh area and have friends up in the Forsythe county area so usually I get there a few times a year. Currently I do have the Solo wing and replacement tail assembly (Alpha) so buying another isn't something I need yet. . . at least not until I get back into the air!

As for the buddy box helping me to stay out of the trees, I think that finding another field with less trees and flying on a calm day will also help! (I'm a do it yourself hard-headed self-teacher, I'll get it in the air and out in one piece soon!)

Thanks for the advice and help.
