Hi Scott, thanks for the kind words. (As a favor to old eyes like 
mine, you might want to consider using lower case letters in your 
messages rather than all UPPER CASE. Thanks.) 
I'm sure you'd like a Corndogger. It flies in lighter lift than 
most other HLG and 2m gliders yet can go fast enough to cope with 
20-30 mph wind. I made a mold from an old soup can and melted 4 oz 
of lead into 4"x3/4"x1/4" ballast weight that I tape onto the 
belly in windy conditions. You can learn more about Corndoggers 
from the CAB web site, http://schoneal.com/netads/com/cabdesigns/ 
or phone (512) 259-4748, or write CAB Designs; 2007 Brook Hollow; 
Cedar Park, TX 78613 
Corndoggers will also be carried in the soon to be released, 96-97 
catalog from Northeast Sailplane Products. Meanwhile, see their 
home page at http://www.nesail.com/ or phone 802-658-9482. 
Corndoggers cost $139.95 and deliveries can be slow. He advertises 
4-6 weeks but I waited 3 months for mine. However, part of that 
delay can be attributed to mis-communication on my part. You 
should also realize that the Corndogger is built light for 
thermalling--not rugged for crash tolerance. Nevertheless, it's 
still tougher than the typical balsa/monokote plane and it's easier 
to repair too. If you are crash prone like me then be sure to use 
a rubber band mounted, break-away tail assembly rather than the 
simple, fragile, glue-on scheme suggested by the instructions. 
Let me know what you decide.
