Default Supreme

Hi everybody!

Thanks Dan and the others for the positive comments on my new Supreme.
I tried to design a plane with the current and new schedules in mind, keeping a good side area that sure helps during rolling manouvers like rolling circles and mainly in rolling loops.

The wings are the result of the last three years flying with my Angel's Shadow; at the last European Championships in Spain I flown with personal wings, created to have better snap capability; those wings are now in production with the current Angel's Shadow. During the EC in Spain I saw that in extremely gusty conditions the smoothness of the rolls and the general behaviour of the model were less satisfactory than the old wings.
So back home I designed totally new wings starting from blank paper.
New airfoil, geometry, dimemsions, and swpt angles, searching to keep the great snap roll capability, but gaining more smoothness and stability in windy and gusty conditions. I tested these wings in conditions that normally a competiton is stopped for too much wings and I'm really happy. also in normal condition I have now a good results, and the test period is over now, so they're officially the Supreme's wings. The target for me and ZNLine is to have the first Supreme flying at the half of May, to set it up and compete in the "Tournoi of Champagne" in Romilly, in June. We'll keep you posted with pics and test flying news!!!

Practice, practice and........practice!!!
