Hi Aki,

    I was told that the NFFS digest had a typing error
and the wing chord is 5". I am not sure about the
weight, at the Bong Eagle Contest the minimum weight
was 3.1 grams.
    For a reel and winder I am using a small indoor
rubber winder made by Peck-Polymers. For a reel I am
using a large thread spool, its about 1" in diameter
and has about .25" hole in the center which slips over
the bend hook on the winder. I am using embroidery
thread for line.

Good Flying,
Kurt
