I have built several HLG.  

The Wristocrat, from TopFlite was my first HLG.  It is a very strong design.  Impossible to break 
the wing.  But it was not a good choice for a beginner.  I seemed to want to fly to fast.  This was
due to the wing loading and the airfoil (E205).  I had a nasty tip stall, until I added _alot_ of
wash out and a 'trip strip' to the top of the airfoil.

The Chuperosa, from Culpepper models was the best I've built.
The kit is very good.  Although the foam wing can be intimidating the first time.  There
are two version: Aileron or Polyhedral.  If your going to fly on a slope, I would reccomend
the aileron version.

  Nothing comes close the Chuppy's versatility.  It's great on a slope and will thermal very good 
when build light.  I've built two. The first one used the E214.  This is a relatively thick and under
cambered airfoil.  Is will slow down to a crawl when landing.

The other Chuppy used a SD7037.  This is an extremely smooth flyer.  I built it light (13.75 oz.)
I fly this mainly HL thermal.  It's a great plane.

Are there any other Chuperosa fans out there?
