Default RE: quick shock flyer question

ORIGINAL: cliffclof

Does the name shockflyer come from the shock of flying it or is it an electrical thing or something else? Sorry to bore everyone with this history lesson. Curiosity.

I wondered that myself. I think something got lost in the translation from German to English. It's not the most flattering name -- especially if someone thinks it's shocking to fly. Thats' probably why most guys just call them "shockies."
