Well as the lead in mention's has anyone had any experence with the PGK-1 Hirondelle from http://www.westernaircraftspruce.com/kits.php ?
It look's nice and seem's to have nice preformance number's, but I've never seen one or read about one anywere but the Western Aircraft Spruce web site. I guess my primary concern would be how well the all wood construction would hold up in a high temp/high humidity enviorment.

Wooden wing's I've seen did really well when kept in a hanger or overhead covering. Those that weren't tended to warp a bit. Wish I'd taken pictures of some of the old J-3 Cub's I used to alway's see at the local airport that alway's stayed out door's. Anyhow, I'd sure like to hear from some of you about this plane.

Thanks

JK
