Malibu ??

[Bill Glaze]

Jim:
 Thanks for the reply.
Problem is, all they seem to fly is the Daddy Rabbit, (whatever that is; last
reed plane I built was in 1964, a Beachcomber by Ed Kazmirski) and when I
mentioned a class for the Astro Hog, I was told that "it wouldn't be
competitive" and that they "didn't fly the Antique Class" anymore.  (Does
Antique mean the airplane, or the Pilot?<G>)
I sure would like to see something work, though.  I like the idea of the group.
