I'm putting the XLT away and building a Phoenix 8 from Leo http://www.klasskotemo.com/patternplane.html as soon as it comes in. I'll do a build thread on it as I did for the other birds. May do one for the XLT also but I have seen a couple started already.
Nice about NE Ohio, is that we get a nice building season.

Wilsondr - are you Dave Wilson from California? I met you at the '83 Nats at Westover AFB. I was flying a Deception as well. My first 2 were from Bridi kits, but the last 3 were scratch built. The last one as a tail dragger for the 'new' turnaround pattern which the Deception also flew very well.

Good read here, catching up on the last 3 pages. Hope to see more soon.
