Hello Harley,
Count me in as a scratch builder. However I do not claim to be a
designer, I've built a couple of originals of my own in the hlg size using
composites. I've built the midget that was published in rcm, it was a bit
sluggish with std radio equipment however. Also basically did some kit bash
of a saggitta 900 as a composite ship with the help of another builder. You
know my current project because it is your design, the Genie. I've only
been at it a couple of years now after being out of it for about 10 now.
