<SNIP> How about the first Euro moldie to win a USA major? Know what it was, who flew it and where it won? Pretty sure it was the first Euro moldie to have bottom hinged flaps too.
Here's a hint, it was produced by the maker of the current 2m, 3m and RES ships flying in the USA today.:-) Gordy <SNIP> Gordy, Nope...ding, ding, ding, ding, wrong answer for Jepordy! For that you need to go WAY back before your time! It was Dr. Barbara Henon, flying a molded, composite Graupner Cumulus, in an LSF tournament in 1973 (?) at Miles Square Park in Southern Calif. Yes, a woman in a "man's" sport. She was also president of the LSF. The Model fits all the requirements for moldies and composites of today. Think about it.
