If you don't start yelling "SHAZAM!" instead of "clear", it'll be a friggin' crime.

Did you design this? It looks like something a super hero would arrive on to battle evil. Nice.

Yes, I did this design. I actually did around 50 different designs, but my sons liked this one the best. You can't argue style with a 6 and 14 year old. Laughing

My bird got some bones today. I guess they don't put the CF speed bar on until they test fly it.

Chances are there's a "test flying" base tube so yours doesn't get nicked up. We used to do the same when we knew setup or breakdown areas were rocky or muddy....

Anybody know of another HG manufacturer that regularly does this degree of custom sail work and posts progress shots? Maybe there is some French, German, or Italian company that we don't hear about? There's only one Wills Wing - and it rocks.
