Cat from Garrison Aerodrome, though not sure it is in production yet..
Anybody have any ideas on how to lower the weight of the javelin, and know of
any other choices I may consider in EPP HLGs?

OK, here we go. There is true wind and there is apparent wind. Apparent wind is the
wind you feel if there is no wind and you're
on a bike and you start moving forward. It feels like there is wind, right?
Sailboats use wind and forward motion to work. Proper

Hi, Guys:
I have been watching this thread with considerable interest. I have
managed to take a look at a couple of web sites showing pictures of the

Just another plug for Hitec for repairing my TX timely and without
