As far as the SPot Dorker fuse being Lite that's not all the other most
important this is the Wings... I have a Brand new in the Box Spot Dorker
Kevlar Wing Ver... These wings are "LITE"... each wing weights about
13.1 oz... if you have a set of wings that are the same in size go weight
them and see if the compare.. The Spot Dorker is a super lite machine.. I
never landed one only flew one and now wish I landed it....
Now the Kit is not Cheap 625.00 for the ultra lite version a bit more money
than a few of the other kits out there
but I think its worth it if you can get pin point accurecy on the landings I
wonder why they call it the
Spot Dorker must be for a reason... hopefully if I ever get mine built it
will put me into the next level we can all go under every body's thermal and
mooch a 10 min flight thats easy its when you have to land on time and hit
the spot at the same time Its a Landing Game out there look at the Pasadena
2day results ask anyone if you make all your times and do not hit most of
your landings which I did not hit over 50% myself last weekend on spot
landings then you might as well say your money on the contest and go bowling
or something cause you ar not Taking the Hardware Home.. for your Wall....
