purchased years ago. Unfortunately, the foam wings have been damaged  beyond
repair. The manufacturer is no longer in business so I am asking if anyone

Can anyone please recommend a lightweight covering? I would prefer an iron
on film but am open to all suggestions.

Hi Gang,
    Looking for an article which I believe was published in the
March 1985 issue of MAN. Specifically, the article on Rich Uravitch's
SE-5a. Just wondering if anyone might have and can supply same.

I had my Giles 202 w .91 Supertigre up yesterday and feeling a little
feisty I was putting it through it's paces. After what seemed about 7
