"PARAGONS FOREVER" As most of you know, I have flown Paragons continuously since my first one over 30 years ago (bought it at the Toledo show the first year they were offered).
So this is my battle cry at every contest that I use this plane. Mine is now going through a rebuild (retriever malfunction) and should be ready soon. BTW, anyone have a canopy they would like to sell? Ray does not have any extras at his store. I may switch to a Maestro MK III for the Nats this year if I get it built (same story for the last three years).
