hearing, he was down to the last kit or two and wasn't sure if he'd make
more. It's on my "(Maybe) To-Do After You're Flying And If The Plane Isn't
Too Heavy Already" list.

Oh, well.... allright ! :-)
It was a long time ago, but I was very impressed with that wing.
It would fly at crazy angles, and, if you snuck up on it gently,
you could fly around with the throttle closed and the stick
all the way back, solid as a rock, sinking about 400 fpm,
with full aileron control ! Even rolling into steep turns
one way, then the other - no inclination to fall off & spin.
Thought that was a handy safety tool, if ever stuck 'on top' -
just set it up like that, and come down through the tiniest hole,
or go straight ahead, and make your own .... ;-)
That Rebel had everything - Fife Horner wing tips, McKenzie
STOL kit, with cuff & wing fences, and VG's !!
