Hey Nightwaker:

When was this picture of David Shulman taken?

He had lost a hughe amount of weight?

Or is this a very old picture?.

I know he had a surgery in his stomach to lose weigth (by pass or ballon, not sure).

Hold up, let me take these 3D glasses off for a second, [X(] MG!! It's him! HOLY [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9104863/mpage_6/key_/tm.htm]JETPOWER 2009![/link] (that's where I got the pic from yall.) I believe AXEL posted it, so he might know more info, either way..........no lady friend of mine is going to be out of my sight from now on anytime Shui is on the premises, he's serious competition now!

I want a refund on these glasses! Come to think of it, the lady that sold them too me told me to only wear them outside, maybe that's what it is....[sm=shades_smile.gif]

I used to wonder the same thing, then I discovered THE 3D GLASSES [sm=shades_smile.gif] Here's the secret, normal glasses allow you to see things pretty much as you would see them with no glasses at all. Now the 3D's filter everything out into into its elements, in effect allowing you to see in perspective and angles. Amazing stuff for sure because even though they are clear like regular glasses they are even able to filter out the sun as if they were tinted!

Now pay attention carefully, as a guy, you don't want to wear them while trying to pick up a girl, or you'll surely have no hope, the trick is to give them to the Hot Bird!

That way she'll see everything in perspective and she's hooked, problem is after wearing them, she won't want to leave you, much less take them off!

They come in several color frames (mine are red)........now if I can just find the lady that sold them to me, I can ask about the indoor option. (and blue ones!)

Good Luck with the Hot Birds and Tailfeathers!

to me it depends on the paint scheme, some look better with the straight, some look better with the swept.

Personally I like the straight fin better, but.....like all BVM models you could just buy both either one will fit the airplane perfectly and then you can swap between them every other flight if you want!

It depends on how you are going to fly it, the straight fin has more rudder authority and is better for some manuevers and same for the swept fin.

I fly so fast you cant tell anyway. Its all a blur.
Go straight, you only have to breath on the rudder, cant imagine swept being any easier.

Ruin it with the straight fin

I would go with the swept all the way.

If you can afford the UB, just step up and get both verticals. Like David, said, change 'em out every other flight. Use whatever "look" you like best and learn to fly it ...
