ROFLMAO - you two made my morning :-)
BTW, I always thought the Speed Disaster was kinda cool looking... As a former Astir CS owner, I looked up to the flappy version. _________________________________ It's not such a "Speed Disaster" when he's already 50km down course and you are just getting off tow 4 aircraft behind him. That's why it's called a "Speed" Astir... LOL BT |

LOL BT That assumes the guy who owns it knows how to put it together. I once watched someone struggle for over two hours in the hot sun and ultimately give up. You have to know how to line things up in the Astirs or it truly is a Disaster. |

It took me a long time to rig when I first got it, but it isn't rocket science. Now I rig more quickly than any other glider on the field. I don't think I'd want to try it with a one man rig though, too many things to line up at once. I need one assistant for 5 - 7 minutes. 20 minutes from opening the trailer to PCC is about average. Add 1/2 an hour if I'm filling up the wings. |
