RE: WM Bard?
Will fly for coffee,
Drink several cups before attempting to fly the Bard!
Chanced is right. Quality is great as I believe is typical of WM, however, it is a pure slope plane for the non faint-hearted. I tried to launch using a high start...no.no.no! Slope on windy days. Very fast and aerobatic...doesn't stay up long. I'm curious how it does with electric conversion or aerotow. BUT...it's gotta be the cheapest glass fuse, high aspect, semi-scale sailplane out there. The German equivalent would be three times the $$$.
