I've been keeping my eye on this:

http://gridswarms.essex.ac.uk/index.html

for a while now. They are Chris Foss Wot 4's

http://www.chrisfoss.co.uk/Wot-4.htm

which are popular beginners models in Britain. We've had several Acro
Wots at out club, which are based on the Zlin-50. Two actually flying
now.

http://www.chrisfoss.co.uk/Acro-Wot.htm

For some time now, I've been trying to persuade someone to bring me a
Wots Wot.

http://www.chrisfoss.co.uk/Wots-Wot.htm

Shipping across the Atlantic is more than the purchase-price of the
aircraft. Unfortunately, these models have obeche-veneered wings making
the package bigger than a kit with a built-up wing, and the Wots Wot has
*two* wings, making it a bigger-than-ever package. Hard to persuade
people to stick one in their luggage...

Sound like you need to find an excuse to visit the UK!

I just need to find someone who is dumb enough to bring it for me. Now
let me see -- Aime is coming in a coupla weeks, and she's *crazy* about Dotcom. Maybe I can persuade her it's for HIM?!??

Heh!

Funnily enough, I just realised a couple days ago, poor Dotty has never
*seen* a frisbee. He runs after tennis balls and leaps into the air
trying (occasionally succeeding) to catch them. I must get a frisbee and
see how he handles it.
