more speed, where the Sparrowhawk just gives more fun. *Watching

more, dream faster, and buy faster once again until we die. *Life is
great!!!!

Yea, I know the SparrowHawk is (or can be) actually more fun. However,
the Boss sez it's either the Ventus or the SparrowHawk. And being that
I purchased it with the understanding that the SparrowHawk will be
going, I have to make good on my word. Besides, it would be better to
let someone else fly it rather than have it sit in the box. Perhaps
this person will do better at records that I. After all, I am visually
handicapped, ha. ha. and really do not have the competitive mentality.
The Ventus, in my view, is much more like the big sister to the
SparrowHawk.
