            Got to admit I haven't seen the glider brakes, Dave, but have
read the description. I could use the wings, except that the short jobs fit
the garage pretty closely, and I feel there should be an exquisitely simple
'board' placed in just the right spot to double the drag (or cut the lift).
adversely, (b)  change the pressure gradient around exhaust, air cabin
intake or exhaust, or (c) cost the earth in either time, energy or lucre.
            I think I'll spot Don Dykins a half day's pay as am sure he has
the creativity to mod. his baby.
