Heck I will jump in, for grins !!
Anyone who knew me then or knows me now, Knows that the plane I flew the most and won the most all TD contests was a Sailaire. I have built over 30 of the Sail Pigs over the years, with all the various modifications.
The Tullohoma versions, the Stubbies, the phillips enteries, the stretched foam wing x/c types... etc etc etc...
I think sta a couple of them are still around.
A close second was my first Grand Esprit....too bad you can't get either any more..( reasonably) then the Sagittia 900...
Now, ....its my Icons, my Cobra with a sailaire as back up...LOL
