Burke, IMHO 30 minute epoxy and chopped fiberglass works fine. drill your hole on the panel the use pointed tweezers to pick out the foam to about a 3/8 radius all the way from underside of the top carbon down to the top of the bottom carbon fabric. Tape the bottom hole fill with the mixture

The Boxster gets its name from combining "Boxer" (which is the name for the water-cooled flat six engine that ferrari developed in the sixties) with "Roadster". I should know, I have the Boxster #1047. I put an order in 14 months before production began in the fall of '96. Dave Malone

Guys, Denny's spectre over carbon fiber rods- control horns work great. I replaced the ones on my Spectre HLG with them and they are slop free and absorb the impact of the dreaded "tail flip up on dork" that kept popping the old linkage free. Dave [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dudes Complete

I am one of the first to sing praises and hesitate to give negative feedback unless it serves a purpose. When you mention "one of their gliders" this may not be the case with all of their gliders. I bought a Multiplex Dart from a distributor and when I tried to get a new fuselage I was told
