AJ's advice is very good. He might have the low/high aspect flipped though: AR = span/cord (or sometimes span^2/area) The Slingshot I76/84 are fairly low aspect (AR ~3.5) and good for low speed lift and user friendly. Same with the Starboard Super Cruiser. Higher aspect generally needs a bit more sp...

Yeah that's my old 5.0 SF UltraLight version. I was using a HSM HotRod RDM 400 on it and it worked really well. It should be able to handle lots of wind. It looks pretty good from the photos to me. If you had too much DH and OH that could explain the poor handling. Hopefully Bobson's rigging help ha...

As MF4 says, don't believe the numbers on the bag. I think some of the batches has misprints on them. They are a bit tough to rig, but should work I think on SDM or RDMs. They are probably less sensitive to differences in SDMs, but I think they might need a bit of a flex-top...? Not sure about the E...

Question for the guys who tuck their phone in their wetsuit........ came in tonight and my iPhone had locked me out for 15 minutes due to too many incorrect PINs from the touch screen picking up my wet wetsuit. Any tips to avoid this? Not sure if this helps, but you can enable Guided Access and dis...

Great to see people posting tracks! Sometimes the stats don't work the first time. If you don't see any stats after you upload your track file, go the the track again and hit Edit -> Save and this will redo them.

Thanks ULR.

3. Click on the number to expand...does that work?

Yeah there is no actual mobile/desktop versions and it’s based on screen size. I’ll see if there’s a way to force it to think you are on a desktop. Can you turn your phone sideways?

Hey MF4 can you email me a screen capture. I’m not sure what pages you are referring too, or post a link here.

The poll results seem a bit inconclusive at the moment.

The wind vanes do take some getting used to.

I need to look into why the site is crashing. Hoping it will be < 2 more years to resolve. Argh.
