Nothing especially new there. *It is a faceted surface. *Lots of
'interesting' characteristics with regard to lift & drag.

You mean not much lift for drag -right?

But what really makes my hair stand on end is the empty weight. *A tad
on the chubby side, in my opinion.


What did you expect from tarps for wing coverings?
