Bof! (as the French say)
It's more fun to get them when you've only got to go 300mi... when you've got to come from the other side of the world it's another matter altogether ;)

Hi Steve and welcome to Glider Ireland !
I like your Fish !!!!!!!
It has inspired me to blow the dust of my unbuilt Fish
One question, "did you go for the all moving tail/elevator ?
I have a couple of planes on the table to complete then the fish is next.

Large market maybe... but it all depends on what's on offer! ;)
Isn't a Ryanair flight to Brest pretty cheap, though, all things considered? :D

Hi Richard! Thanks, glad you like the Le Fish, I'm so honored it has brought so much pleasure to so many people. And of course I like it pretty well myself :)
I am attempting my first Madslide-style elevator right now, on my new Swiss Fish-inspired build. Thread on RCG if you're interested. I hope to have it flyable in time for our July 9th VTPR rencontre here in Southern California.
Cheers!

Some fun with the ultralightweight 388g / 1.5m Spindrift built by my friend Swiss Peter. Wind was only about 2-2.5 m/s... pretty marginal even for this plane!
