I watched it at the worlds and I have to agree with your thinking Doug, it really doesnt snap or spin well. I wouldnt think he would have added a third wing to try reduce wing loading as that doesnt seem whats needed in F3A. The KE edge capability is what is being tested with the new generation schedules. Maybe he was hoping for improved straigtening of air flow over the fuselarge for better KE effeciency. Maybe all the wings need are very narrow tips and sharp LE's to help stall the tips. Even the bipes struggled with the inverted KE triangle loop in the unknown schedules, especially in the strong winds. The top base of the triangle being downwind meant that the pilots had to apply abrupt rudder to get through the downwind 135 degree corner. Very few of the top 10 managed to keep the wings on edge during this as the planes get very squirrely. It would have been nice to see how Mayrs plane handled this but he unfortunately didnt get to fly the unknowns.
