Remarkable that you speak about FVK first; I'm always going to their stand first and assembling the Skylark 6ex right now. Did you notice the new K2 ?
I didn't notice the new Graphite (but didn't really pay attention); what's new about it ?

Stefan.


Hi Stefan,

For one thing, its got a whole new airfoil. While the original Graphite was an incredible USA TD ship (having been the first Euro Molded Model to win a major USA TD Title Visalia in the hands of Ben Clerx) it had the 7037 foil which in windy climates in the USA could get you into trouble coming home for a landing)  The new Graphite has the now very popular MH32 foil which penetrates far better among other neat performance characteristics). Its offered with fully skinned glass carbon tips or new Carbon Glass and Oracover super light tips.  There are other exciting changes too but I'm getting charged per minute by this hotel so it will have to wait for a review, maybe in RC Soaring Digest Magazine :-)!

Lots of other neat things in FVK's booth too.  May be you'll see them tomorrow.
