Hi Bert,
And welcome back! Everyone keeps talking up the Wills Wing Falcon. Apparently is flies and lands like a dream. (never flown one personally) Or what about the Eagle? Just a step up but double surface. Checkout their page for more information.

Also check out their drogue chute. The use of a drogue would enable any high-performance wing to essentially come down at a much steeper angle without effecting control. (no more gliding in ground effect to the end of the field and then into something hard... heh)
Stop by your local sites again. Chances are things have changed ALOT!
