That would make sense. Torn between larger or smaller........ oh what to do.

I picked up a 60" red white and black extra last week and started assembly this morning. Fit and finish is awesome and I look forward to flying this. I guess it is considered an old school scheme but I really like it. I was surprised to see cuffs for the landing gear included. Looking at images I had no idea these were included as it appears most choose to leave them off.

Doc your videos are always fun to watch. Great flying!

My 91" was red white and blue and it presents itself so well, especially in the Texas sun so you will love it

I get the same feeling watching Jase or Daniel fly. I just can't understand how they do it.

Me neither. I reckon it's voodoo or some other magic. Do you think there is a special 3D devil that they sold their soul too to give them the skills to make us feel bad?????????

Definitely talented. I also think it has something to do with flying 10 packs a day rather than my typical 3 packs a week if I'm lucky. Not complaining by the way, just comparing.

Like the sportsman says, the more I practice the luckier I get.

They are outliers.. started young and have done nothing else. Takes 10k hours to be a pro(and a natural talent), and those guys are probably pushing 20k hours of flight time.

How did you get to Carnegie Hall?? Practice, practice, practice..

Finally a decent weekend day to get a couple of flights in. 1st flightsnwith my new Revo 3700s. Shpuld of back to backed with my old packs but frankly not enough time so just had a quick blast. Always is

Managed to catch an SFG in the grass and snapped it, so took them off for my second pack. WOW! Now it rolls quick. Gave the impression of tracking straighter n in the roll but that could be an illusion. Love the look too. Soooo clean. Could definitely tell the difference in knife edge and felt a little less stable and had a teeny bit of rock when harriering.

I felt I prefered it with the SFGs installed but liked the look better without. Had an hour in the garage this evening so made some low profile SFGs. I'm hoping they will be big enough to help the airflow in high alpha but keep the cleaner look. Materials from the scrap box so if they don't do what I want then it was a pleasant way to spend and hour. Win win really Reckon they look quite cool actually.

Nice pics Chris. Heard someone in here talking about making sfgs out of plexiglass. Clear sfgs sound like a great idea.

Might be worth a try. Would keep the clean wing look that looks so sweet. I'll see how my mini ones go. If they are rubbish i have some thin plexiglass so I might try that.
