[RCSE] [RCSE]

[Tom H. Nagel]

	My first plane was a Goldberg Sophisticated Lady  (later to become known 
as The Crunchbird.)   My wife had gotten me a kit to build an RC power 
plane for Christmas.  I took it back to the hobby shop and swapped it for 
the only glider they had on the shelves, the Sophisticated Lady.

	I learned to build, repair,  and slope with the SL.   Lots and Lots of 
repair.  I added shear webs when it became clear that the wing was too weak 
for even a decent high start.   I added winglets as an experiment, and 
never took them off.   The Crunchbird is still in the hangar and needs only 
a battery and radio to go up again.
