Flying Gliders - #7 Couswell Lightning (DEFINITELY NOT FOUND)

Just thought I would take a moment to update the blog about the possible Flying Gliders - #7 Couswell Lightning that I thought I found.  Turns out it was exactly the same as the glider that I wrote about in this post:

So disappointing!  The hunt continues...

Flying Gliders - #7 Couswell Lightning (FOUND)

After about 8 years of collecting gliders, this glider finally came up for sale on E-bay.  I bought it right away as there is no doubt in my mind that this is the real deal.  

I thought the description would say "LOCKHEED OR LIGHTNING" but instead it says "COUSWELL LIGHTNING".  Considering that this is a made in Taiwan glider, I know it is an authentic glider.   

These are the E-bay pictures.  I currently don't have the glider as I have yet to pick it up from the address that I use in the U.S.A. to get my packages shipped to.  I will post pictures of the actual glider whenever I get it.
