OOPS! I have been away for too long. Chip and I have been diverted with the business of life and income production. Yes, it is true----SPADflyer does not pay as well as a 'real job' even though it is a great deal more fun.

The COROcub seems to be too expensive for most of the market. It is very difficult to produce it and have it pay it's own way even though it turns out to be an easier bird to fly than the SPADflyer.

Something in the works now is a couple of options for the SPADboy. With the 48 inch wing it is a great flyer, but some have mentioned they would like an option for a 44 inch wing. OK so those who wish to test the beast should let me know they are interested. I do have two blanks in the shop ready to go to those interested, and this can be added to the order page mix if there is some interest.

The next notion in the wind is an aluminum channel fuse. The SPADboy wing and this fuse should be lighter (I think?) so they might prove to be a good option for those interested in something that flys well and could even make an affordable and durable combat plane that will be a little more comfortable to fly on a casual basis than the Gnat's flat wing and quircky handling.

What do you all think?
