Thanks for your thoughts on this.

There is a decent and CHEAP Woodstock for sale in TN right now. Yea,
it's a low performance homebuilt but they fly very nice, are easy to
rig, and did I mention CHEAP. It's a great design and mine has done
diamond goal AND a hilton qualifying 400K triangle. It's gotten me
home more times than not. Think of all the tows and retrieve gas you
can buy with the extra $13000!
