Hi Guys,

I just received my new AVA RES from Kennedy Composites and Vladmir or Graphite and Organic Fame.  The Glider is an absolute work of art and weighs almost nothing.  Thanks to my brother Randy letting me in on this little secret, I was able to get one of the first few planes to come into the U.S. so I am not sure about how quick they are going to be readily available.  For more information you can contact Barry Kennedy at bmkenndy@airmail.net or by phone at 972-602-3144.  To be honest I am not sure of the span and area of the plane but it is in the 3M range and should weigh under 40 oz.  When I saw my first pictures of the plane I just knew I would have to have one.  I can say this much this ain't your dads old Gentle Lady.  I will give more reports as soon as the radio gear is installed and first flights are taken.

See Ya,

Pat McCleave
