I agree with Mark, as I own a Noseeum as well -- i found the Noseeum to be a worthy contender to the Herring. The Noseeum is also a tougher ship, due to it's EPP construction and CF spar. However, the EPP is softer and less stiff (hence the need for the CF spar), and needs more care during construction to ensure a stiff airframe for successful DLG/SAL launching.
And, i agree with the thermalling ability of the Noseeum -- she's got a great glide to her! All in all, a great ship, and with the CF boom he's adding (i got a pre-release with the CF boom), it makes launching more stable (and for those of you pod and boom guys, it's a little easier to stomach :) ) >>From what I understand the original foil was modified at under side of >>the > trailing edge area. > It has a good roll rate and is very aerobatic. > That being said, here comes the shameless plug! > For $39.00 (shipping included) you can get the ALL EPP Noseeum which > can be built in a number > of different configurations.
