May I kindly recommend that you get a BRS Rolla. Especially if you are going to go big at King!

If you can't find a Dealer let me know and I'll try to get you a good price.

Cool

that's awesome BBJ ! can't wait to see the video, i may want to go to King, will see what the rest of flying buds want to do,

i feel bad for Shadd he was so excited to fly it, but he still puts on a smile and has good times no matter what life throws at him, i need to develop those traits

BBJ, when we set it up, Shadd had me get into it, i had a very difficult time lifting it up, you made it look easy, what technique did you use ?

we had no wind, is it easier to lift in wind, when first getting into it ?

I used the one that Shad showed me......I slid my hips forward then bent my knees, squatted a little and just rolled it up on my hips.
I practiced about 20 times in my driveway, made it easy on the hill

No maiden flight yet. I had it all set up and found out that our calculations on spar height were set from what turned out o be a bogus reference point.

But just a few more tweeks and she will be ready!

Glad you have a BRS. What's the repack/recharge date on it?

Cool

PS if you come to MCI or anywhere else local with BIGBURD let me know!

Hope to see the video this spring Young Man!!!

If I get the beast out that way I will let you know for sure Mr. Green

If you get out this way I will take you on a the eticket tour for sure thumbsup

"edit" yeah I will have to get it recharged, the powder is dry though. I will need to get some repack directions for the chute also.

Steve, any suggestions on the chute info?
