| Unfortunately Monday it is our only opening on the way down to the event in SF. Maybe we'll have a chance on the way back. |

We'll update for days after Sunday. Jimmi. Call Boarding Bob of Noel at 541-993-9393. I am sure you can hook up with them somewhere. |

So the
BATMOBILE
Not too bad
It was 9.0 conditions and the boys(Noel and Bob) where using the 12.0 BAT
so not sure about how much low end power they have
BUT
The 12.0 in 20 mph is a ripper
turns fast
lot's of pull and plenty of sheeting
works really well
seems just like a c type with lot's of sheeting
almost defies oversheet
power is instant and steady
I tried to invert it and no go, the low wingtip wiggled a little and stiffened right up
when I pulled the bar all the way in,(under power)the low wingtip buckled a little and then came right back
This a super stable wing with almost no flutter, a tiny bit right at the edge of the cut-out on the trailing edge
so it would appear to me that this is a winner
they said something about going to the lake and possibly Whiskey
and you interlopers really missed it
Normy said it was the best he ever got it at FLORENCE
I quit BEFORE he did ???? |
