Short for Flugewerks, or however you spell it. Scott and Ed modified the airfoil some on the Falcon kits they make. It is a noticable improvement over the airfoil that I was using.

Even with the nasty wind, it was still a good time today. This is a great group of guys to fly with. I`m looking forward to a great season. The bad wind and some health issues kept on less than 6 local pilots from joining us today. I think we`ll hit 20 SSC pilots at some of the local events this yea...
Brian, I think you are dead on the money with all of your observations and suggestions. With your experience with hipo electrics you fully understand the weight current limitations of getting that much power for a solid 5 min. Many folks without first hand knowledge just don`t see the whole picture....
Thanks David. E-SSC has caught on pretty well in this area, with at least 8 pilots who flew NPS heats with E power last year. This year my flying partner Bob Leone is giving E-B a try with me. In fact he has his stuff ready for the LSN already. I`m still working on mine. Seeing others give it a try ...
Evan and Gil, thanks. Since you guys are the guys that I "experiment" on :lol: your opinion means a lot to me. If the total lack of respect that my personal Troll gives me, was what I saw at our N Texas contests, I would probably abandon flying E Open B and just accept that the only "...
