The central ohio MOSS club used
to do an annual Gnome contest. Most of the members had at least one
2 meter Gnome. I have built three of them and still have two, including
the infamous Flamingoid.
The Gnome is still kitted I
believe. It is a little heavier and stronger than a GL and has a
somewhat more advanced airfoil. I think of the Gnome as a wood and
monokote Duck.
For some reason MOSS has stopped
running our Gnome contests over the last few years. I guess people got
tired of standing in the landing circle and yelling
"DUCK!"
