When I read your thread it helped me choose the proud bird. I was originally going to try an invictus or outrageous. I still might eventually. I think I might toy around with an 8x10 on this thing...

Im not a pylon racer though. I fully understand the mechanics of what it takes to make a plane that fast in level flight but a guy like me is fine with doing it out of a dive. In fact I actually...
