Afraid I must disagree with you about floaters. While I'll grant that
the Mirage may have been a benchmark, I'd be willing to fly a good
Bubble Dancer vs. you with a Mirage any day. (Not that I'd necessarily win,

of the plane I used in Dave Thornburg's
contest that is on your website.
I still have the plane I used and was thinking of recovering it and
flying it in nostalgia at Poway!

What I find interesting is that the Supra is considered the 'bench

price as the other airframe. I'm spending the difference on a winch...
