Hi Cliff,
I will probably go that way if I can't find a Pichler. Which one would you recommend?

Regards,
Ian

Here is a shot of the 1/4 scale Cliff Charlesworth Oly 2b in ETPS livery with the modern canopy as per the one rebuilt a few years ago.
It flies very well indeed.

Hi Peter,
Beautiful glider! I think I will go with the Cliff Charlesworth plan as well. He did his in the colour scheme of the Oly my father used to fly.

Thats the one! I flew the full size BLN a number of times when it was at Cranwell back in the 90s.

I've sent two PM's to Brian Sharp and both seemed to have disappeared without trace.
Could it be the same problem?

I came across this photo yesterday of production No. 1 of the original Meise Olympia which was sold to Canada before ending up in the U.S.
