No - rudder is very straight.  Turns great - I haven't had an opportunity to
have to force it down yet and I haven't gotten any high speed so perhaps then
I may find reason to criticize the rudder - but for now it seems OK.  

In the air it looks like a giant predator (Dave Walter design).

Speaking of Canada...

I just received a schedule of some Canada glider contests but I don't currently
have enough info to actually attend one - like the phone number of the CD or
the location of the fields.

They are in Toronto, Ottawa, MATS? (must be a local club field), and Mt. Glen.

R U a Canadian?
Can you furnish any details?

I would like to attend some of the Cross Country events for my LSF goals.

    Kay, sorry to be late in responsing to your questions, but here are the
    answers with some more questions.
    
    No, I am not Canadian, sorry I can't help you with the LSF cross
    country information you are interested in for Canada.
    
    Will you give a good summary of your Paragon?  Fuse material, airfoil,
    span, tubulators used or not, etc.?
    
    The "getten place" (where to purchase it) and price range would be
    helpful.
    
    Thanks,
    
    
    Ollie
    Thanks

It is a old classic in both design and material.

118" span - 45 ounces (mine weights 55).
Poly, Wood fuselage, built up wings with turbulator spars.  
3 piece wing with fixed center section with modest dihedral 
and the poly tips plug in.

Airfoil is flat bottom.

I got it with a coupon for 1/2 off so I think that put my price
at around $40.

Don't have the phone handy but if you write you can get a price list
at.

       Pierce Aero Co.
       9626 Jellico Ave.
       Northridge, CA 91325

Had it up again today - fly's great.
