Hi all
A little busy at work, so I have not been on the forum. retroplane was fantastic, so good, I have started looking for a vintage plane plan already, hopefully to fly in next years competition. I have some pics on my picasa albums, feel free to use any.
Bill I was out on the slopes this evening flying the DL 50, winds less than 6mph, lift poor, however this little glider flew great, a real test and good craic to keep the glider in the air. looking forward to Sept. slope event at Mount Leinster, my have a few more from the north coming down also.

Hi John,
Glad you're getting some flying in, I'm not! Neck has gone again, doing of all things, lifting my briefcase off the desk down to the floor!!

What size and type of model are you looking at?

JohnPearson:
Hi Bill, up late tonight

I got the links you sent me thanks, some great plans. I like some of the vintage gliders that the German guys flew at retroplane, I was very impressed with the speed range of these gliders, after all Bill, you know if it's fast, I like it.

Waiting on the painkillers kicking in so I can get some sleep!!

Let me know what models you're interested in and I'll try and find some plans.
