Topless Wings

Postby alanmack » Fri Jan 06, 2006 12:42 pm

I test flew a “topless wing” yesterday and hope to do so again this week-end. Thought “topless wings” would make an interesting article for the MISASA magazine. Any thoughts or contributions on the topic would be useful including pictures which could be e-mailed to me directly.

Hi

Thanks again for the tip. Have studied their site. It seems to me that this is the way it will go. Together with the electronic in-flight variable hang point adjuster it makes for a wonderful combo.

I test flew one yesterday again and was most impressed. See pictures on topless album (last page of listed albums) at

Safe flying
