Brad,
The Russia is a great ship, and worked well down on the Gulf coast where
it is flat and there are lots of landing options. This past season I
started flying in the Texas Hill Country. I found that it takes a really
booming day (or some really big cahones) *to go deep into it with a 31:1
ship. I found it interesting that the distributor of Anteres found the
Hill Country intimidating in his 20 meter motor glider. Imagine how I feel
in a Russia!

Hi Brian,

I know exactly how you feel. All my flying buddies are in 15m or
longer winged ships. While I really love my Apis, I am in pursuit of a
15m ship myself.

That being said, I totally agree that the Russia was a great little
ship! I see that the one I built is up for sale too, guess
why.............all his buddies fly long wingers too in Texas!

Cheers,
Brad
