Did DA say anything in regaurd to the 170 or the 200? I have always liked this sport because the top sponsored elite guys were running the same equipment you could go and buy.

Neither are available. The 170 sounded like it is still pretty far out for now. But I know Dave and crew are working hard on bringing it out ASAP

Leseburg, Chip and Frazier all ran the prototype Da 200. Chip ran his with a Mej 28.5-12 3blade on his Ultimate. It had great power and was very quiet.

On the Higher plane vids it looked as if the 200 guys were the only ones who could really hold the long up line when they had a short run into the vert and then 2 snaps on the way up. It must be hanus power at sealevel.
