What a delicate, fragile-looking little BUG. You did a good job Jan.

Did you scratch build this or was it a kit? I really like this open, small glider......Rich

Hi Jan,

Beautiful rendition.

Liked the Youtube at Torrey Pines - nothing like a floater launch.

A saying in the hang gliding community is "with age comes the cage". I've eaten enough dirt landings the other way and gladly will fly a cage rather than a face first for the plastic surgeon to reconstruct after a bad contact landing. Definitely a "hard wing" type now.

Cheers, -Gil
