ORIGINAL: Free Bird
A while back, WEDJ did a build thread from the short kit in that link, and it went together fairly well. Being the short kit had to be bought in lots of three, I bought one from WEDJ and I believe that he sold the other one to another member here on RCU. BTW - WEDJ let me fly his Perigee a couple of months ago, and it was one sweet flyer! Better than some of the newer models on the market today. I hope that my restored Perigee flies half as well!

When I was e-mailing William a couple years back enquiring about the possibility of getting a Perigee short kit, we simply didn't hit it off personally. We never even got to the point where he told me the price for three kits, (obviously he must have told WEDJ), so I gave up on him and instead was able to get a prototype of Bob Harris's kit produced for Early RC, (taken over by Wing Mfg). However, due do costs and the amount of work involved in kit production, (producing instructions etc), plus other pressing classic pattern projects projects, (such as the Phoenix 5), and finally, the real possibility the kit would not sell enough to break even, Wing decided not to produce the Perigee kit. Personally I'm sorry it didn't get produced, though I coimpletely understand the reasons for not doing so.
FB...Please post your flight reports of your Perigee when it takes to the skies, and contact me by e-mail or phone about plans you may be interested in.
