I talked to Dick a few days ago: He had just completed mating the wing
spars and installing main pins, next up is the outer wing panel
joints. Spars are installed in lower skins, still to be completed are
a lot of control linkage and ballast components. Gerhardt was over
last month helping with the spars. Concordia is a truly gigantic
project, and Dick's working 6 long days per week on it...

Perhaps I'll start a pool for which flies first:
- HP-24
- Brad's motor-glider
- Concordia

I'm rooting for all of them !
Best Wishes for 2009, Dave "YO electric"

Considering the financial resources and the time available,
Bob is doing a fantastic job.

You should perhaps add the Omarama 1 to that list, which sounds like a
pretty cool project from the little Ive heard about it.

Does the 'Concordia' project have a website? Bob's HP-24 site is a
'first thing every week' for me.
Thanks,
Jim
