One of the guys that I fly with has had his Opus up to 258 mph on the radar gun on the backside DS'ing. For those that have not seen DS'ing once you see it you will want to do it

you got to try a Fish, once hooked, you never look back
Voltij, Le-Fish, Guppy are all too much fun on the slope.

Well it looks like the fish will need to be my next project

Hey guys I am not gonna lie! I love to fly sailplanes! I have got three of them! I haven't spent a large amount of money in them but I plan to start building that next after I build the 3d hanger!

[nicklnsp]

I love flying them. Like others previously mentioned it's a completely different and challenging skill to have!

The Art Hobby is already built and flying but i will get some photos of the Sofia and starling Pro this week. I might do a small build thread in here on both. I want to get the starling Pro done first so I can hit the slope then do the Sofia.

Gus you are right that view does suck

[pitviper51]

flying fish!

[CRG]

Ok, I'm one too...

Usually fly TD, F3J and hand launch but the last few years been going out to the JR Aerotow and it's awesome. The last flight of each day there is one of the best, towplanes are shut down, just have a seat and cruise around, good times.
