Zenith V tails come off -- and it's a lot easier to transport than an Icon. X-tail simpler to trim? I think not - unless you're into differential. It is simpler to set the decalage on a flying stab (you don't have to do anything) -Original Message- From: Andrew E. Mileski [mailto:[EMAIL

David, Please get your facts straight. RMSA collected NO fees and made not one thin dime on this event. We do these things because we love soaring, not for money. If it were up to me, we'd let the juniors fly for free. If you have a beef about fees - you'd best take that matter up with

You may have heard that Colorado is suffering from the West Nile virus. We've had over 750 cases this year - most in the last month. This is a serious problem as the virus is known to exist in the area that we'll be flying. Sod farms are breeding grounds for mosquitoes - so I'd suggest that every

Andrew, If you follow the digital camera forums, you'll see these mentioned all the time (1600+Mah NiMh batteries). I have read that there are some in the 1800Mah range that are pretty reasonably priced, and can be had with a 1 hr charger. I would guess that those can be fast charged no problem.
