QuickSilver was my first sloper - S/H and all wood fuz, obechi foam wings.

Dave Hardaker once told me he had built one with tailerons to improve the roll rate, but all it did was kill all the speed........

Thanks Ron, I think annual event sounds great and people mentioned "mince pie cup" so I'm sure we could get a trophy for the winner.

Any updates on the trolley guys? i.e. is it rugged enough to cope with rough(ish) terrain? Easy to mod for model carrying? I know, not exactly the right thread, maybe start a trolley fan club thread?  :embarassed:
