That's nothin' - My Ultimate flew with only 25% of the wing left; only 1 wing panel out of 4!!!!

Flew is kind of a broad term. After the snap roll that removed the other 3 wing panels, the flight was not terribly long...

Look at all the weight savings. I think all the top pilots will start doing this to cut down on weight.

I was thinking the same thing, I just can't see how to make it do nice rolling circles; I bet I'd make up the points in the hammerheads! Perhaps I just need more sim time...
