Len,

I was about to reply when I read Andy's post on the
pros and cons of each model which I thought was
perfect. I had nothing to add. Let me know if you have
any specific questions - i have 150 hrs on my XLRG.

Since you've decided to stick with the RG and all, for motivation I've
attached a pic of how you'll look one day doing a high speed low pass!

Funny side story: my wife and I flew up to Fox field
on Saturday to take some pics and visit Craig Woolston
and John Schoorl who are just about to fly their
XLFG-5. Their plane looks great and you can see the
excitement on their faces. Kevin and Brooke Steiner
happened to be there with their Velocity, Deception. I
had previously only seen their plane in pictures which
don't do it justice - it's truly spectacular. Oh, and
Jorge and Ygebor Bujanda (also XLFG builders) were
there too! Small world.
