Comments left:	I had atleast 100 of these models growing up, and spent more than 25,000 hours aloft in fighters, airliners, freighters etc. I emailed Guillows about a year ago and asked, "is the Sleek Streek gone forever??" and they answered, yes, it's gone there will be no more of them. Sorry. I think it's a tragedy. That little plane taught me pitch, power, trim in a way no instructor ever could. I still have a couple, but if you see one on EBay etc.. better grab it. More than one of them carried a smoke bomb aloft that left a very satisfactory smoke trail, and an M-80 with a string taped on, fed into the rubber as it was wound under the CG would make a good bombing run on your buddies (pick one with a LONG fuse if you want your plane back... but sometimes that was fun too!) Combine flying these, and throwing the RIPCORD dude with his red/white parachute... and you had a full days entertainment.
