Photo of BSE 90L FIRE. Outrageous specs!

The second shot here is of the dolly from behind. Yeah a lot of wear marks over the years, plus the dolly makes startup of your plane a breeze! Note the horizontal wear marks from...

Whiplash flyers

Have you ever used the hinge sealing tape on your Whiplash by ACM. I assume it is used to cover the hinge gap. Does it work properly?

Great design! Do you happen to have a shot from the front, especially to see the profile. Doesn't look like much pressure drag there to me!
