That is freakin awesome man.
I've only riden a road bike once. My mates R6. 200 comes quick on them things. Not yet for me I'll stick to dirt bikes, Safer.

Pure Awesomeness and that is all.

The most pure bike race in the world...doesn't get better.

The dirt bikes come in handy. This was a day that was too wet to drive up the hill.

Has anyone Dsed an RCRCM sunbird with any success? I reckon they are a bit flimsy, but would be interested if anyone has tried one.
Cheers,

The carbon Sunbird is a capable DSer. Can't speak to the glass version.

I saw the glass version (hobbyking) recently and it seemed nice and stout. I reckon it would ds well,

Marcus had a Sunbird at Weldon last year, not sure on lay-up. Flew nice

I think a nicely set-up one should top out at 160-180 to be safe

Even with the skinny joiner? I would have thought less. Maybe we need to see some more destructive testing at wainui

I think a glass sunbird won't survive too long on the backside, RCRCM is well known by their "economic" (and not primer) materials used for building, on a electric thread there is lot's of Typhoons loosing their nose inflight, another guy sad he doubt RCRCM use epoxy resin, we could imagine that..
I DSed a carbon Typhoon around 120mph and seemed flight very close to it's limit, the wing had a scary bend sometimes, another bad is for a 2m dser this plane is too light, when crossing the shear you receiver a big punch...
Place your bets!

Thanks for the comments. The reason i ask is my poor old Fredy had a disagreement with the ground from 100ft and i spent 20mins digging it out.

So what is a good replacement? I dont want another fredy, just want a cheap slope hack with crow, that i can enjoy on the front, but take DSing when i see fit.

Any more ideas? Already have a foamie gulp GV60 i converted to t-tail. I was considering an m60, but for the price including import taxes from USA to UK, id rather spent another few quid and get a 60inch mouldie. Any better suggestions?

Cheers!

Genesis/Flying fish.
Hn1038 foil, no rudder, cross tail, flaps, easy transport (2 piece wing), Good quality, easy build, cheap.
I got mid 150's with mine and there is more in it for sure.

I reckon a destiny is your best bet if you want to do some ds (I think they are related to the freddy anyway). They have a fat airfoil for a mouldy, and I think this helps them handle ds turbulance better than the skinny winged mouldies. They are also one piece and come stock with a carbon spar. I wish I had another one!

I second the Fish

Looks like that destiny doesn't have flaps. Can anyone confirm?
Apart front that I like it, doesn't have the keel arrangement of the Fredy which was a weak point.
Would prefer a 1 piece wing.
