I believe the wing design was to make the plane perform like one flown at a much lower altitude. If I am not mistaken he lives and flys at a high altitude making his plane perform different. Modifying the wing changed the stall characteristics allowing him to fly as if he was at lower altitudes.

Did anyone get some video from the night fly show? If you missed it you missed one hell of a good time. Yuri's flight was nothing short of beautiful. To see that kind of precision and grace flown in the dark was absolutely amazing.

Nice Job on the live feeds.

What caused Frank Noll's plane to crash? I couldn't hear it on the broadcast.
