[RCSE] Two shameless plugs...

First off, everyone add all the soaring sites (slope and TD) that they know of on the Extreme-Products.com International Soaring Site Directory. Secondly, everyone check out the cool new "Mach Dart", a fully molded 60" slope racer. It's in the "60" Slope Planes Section" Both of these things can
