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.
