Dear MJ,
I agree that Littlest Sticks and their kin enjoy a modest flight envelope - but that (to me) is part of their charm. On the other end of the spectrum; I have drawings from a British source for a more pattern-ish design for .010 power. Same thing - only different.
Having said that, however, I have a vision of a 22-inch Tomboy of floats that is very, very appealing (to me). Same thing - only different.
I guess this is what makes ballgames (and why some people insist on rooting for the Yankees [ptui]
.)
