I'm fishing for a Fall / Winter building project, and I've got a short
list put together.  Any thoughts on the following.  If you or a friend
have  seen, flown, or built any of these, I'd like to hear your
thoughts.

Skybench's Bird - 100 or more or the 970 (as a nostalgia ship, too)
Polecat's Easy Bubble Dancer
MM GliderTech's Marauder (115)
* any others?

Thanks,
Brent

Don't forget to consider the Drela enhancements for this particular  
plane.


Cheers,

The coolest builtup kit by far is the EZBD from Polecat Aero. Download the 
manual - it's impressive! Many on this list can vouch for the plane; it's the 
new world of RES.

Aw shucks, Tony, you make a man blush ;)

I managed to place 2nd in the MidSouth RES contest with the prototype 
plane, too!


Having built an Allegro-Lite from scratch, and then building the EZBD, 
I gotta say the compromises Denny took to make it EZ are well worth 
the time saved.  It's a snap to build and so far I haven't even come 
close to breaking the wing.


I'd build another one in a heartbeat.

Doug,
How about a Mirage!

Isthmus Model Company
http://www.isthmusmodels.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_27products_id=111
There is information for improved strength in the spar and adding a spoiler 
/ wing bolt.
One of the finest built up nostalgia glider ever designed...IMHO

My last one came in at 31.5 ounces
113 span
I flew it last weekend in gusty wind up to 19mph with 20 oz of ballast and 
it flew superbly.

Check it out!
