Steve,

Saw that on the list and wondered who you paid to get it
included ;-). I want to see it fly or come fly it sometime. It was my
dream ship before I got my licence. How is it compared to the 604 and
Nimbus II. Open class ships are fun to fly, just not fun to rig and move
on the ground. Now I just fly the kiddie gliders.

I'll never tell. ;-) The BS1 is a delight to fly. Very well balanced
controls, good performance. The canopy is a real pain at something over 6
feet long, and not hinged. But, I have managed to take it off and safely
set it down in a 20 MPH wind. As for assembly, they aren't bad at all
with one man rig dollies. Although the axle does take a noticable bend
with the BS1 wing in it! I can put the 604 by myeslf in about 45 minutes,
lifting nothing heavier than the tip of a 15 meter ship wing.

And the ground handling? Tow bars, wing wheels, and take it slow.
