I am putting together a construction article about the Gulp I purchased from Steve Drake (www.SteveDrake.Com). But I was so proud and pleased with this plane that I wanted to show it off. Here is one of several images a friend took. I am waiting on more.

Picture has vanished... Please see under Slope section. There are several there! Sorry 'bout that.

I have also replied with a couple. I apologize for loosing the first one.

Great looking plane---much better than the typical wing I think. But how does it fly--I'm itching to get one.

The Gulp really tracks through the sky. It flys like it is on rails. Over in the slope section I pretty much say the same thing. I have not DS'ed it yet but some who have say very nice things about it. For most of my flying around Nashville, it is 10-15 and switching around. The Gulp penetrates up wind very well and will impress you with its energy retention. It is hard for me to understand how this 60-inch "foamie" goes, and goes and goes; but it does. It does not have any nasty stall tendencies like ships with the SD7037 airfoil and will recover within a foot or two. The MH-45 airfoil seems to enjoy speed and with a little reflex adjustment will slow down and glide in.
