Rick, one last thing to follow on to what TK said. Last year I was helping a buddy with some glide testing and we flew a 27 and a 29 in the 15M config side by side. First, I was surprised when we had them next to each other on the ramp you could see a obvious difference in the wings. We ballasted the 27 to the same wing loading as the 29 and towed to 10K and the planes were glued together throughout the entire speed range. This was at a light wing loading. If you can't get the factory to build you a 27 there are plenty of clean used ones around.

2, People know that Swiss made watches are best, while the Asia madeare worst but cheapest, but Some of Asia made Oyster Perpetual Air King - AllStainless Steel are also close to a real thing that is in fact almostimpossible to tell the difference.
