What Gordy doesn't realize is that he has the earlier, small canopy version. The latest setup from Vladimir has a much larger canopy for easy access to your radio.

[RCSE] PERFECTflight report(long)
PERFECT FLIGHT REPORT by SKIP MILLER 5/10/06 The long awaited Pike PERFECT from SAMBA was test flown in Boulder, Colorado on 4/29/06. I received the PERFECT a week earlier, and after showing many of our local soaring advocates the latest development from Samba, I relinquished it to my long time friend and one of the Premier builders in the USA...Lenny Keer. I resisted the urge to outfit myself, as this model calls to you to begin...instead I patiently waited 5 days(yes Lenny and I both have day jobs) and on a rainy windy Saturday the first launch was made. By the time we met, a half dozen of some of Colorados top thumbs had assembled...only one small problem...the WEATHER was not cooperating...it was raining slightly, on the downwind side of a rolling hill field(not our normal sod farm. Twins at home allow only brief stints to the soaring field , no matter what the weather. Each pilot had brought his own sweet ship. Bob Lewan(GIANT) Charlie Miller (Sharon3.7) Lenny Keer (ESPADA R) Jim Monaco (Supra) Cody Remington(Espada and Supra). A quick foot note, I always fly off a short high start, 50 feet of rubber, 35 feet of line..not the best motor for test flying...but hey better then a hand launch in the leeward side rotor(it was ugly)...and as the rain sprinkled and I assembled the beauty and began doing the pre flight maiden stuff, and adjusting the throws to what i thought was right...after a huge range check( I have in the model AIRTRONICS 761 digital servos, and AIRTRONICS PCM receiver, in this full carbon bad boy...I finally gave up walking out of range at 250 feet..It ALL WAS ROCK SOLIDWHEE HOO!! As I turned to Monaco(our USA F3J Team manager) and said come on ...launch the SUPRA..and he said I don't fly in this crap the PERFECT took to the sky. First thing I noticed .the elevator is VERY effective (it's huge), and the push pull thing on launch jumped the PERFECT up to maximize the suck air I was flying in. Not the prettiest test but the PRFECT was soaring.. Charlie Miller had been flying off his short start with the Sharon 3.7, doing the up and down thing...no air..and then in a few launches to 75 feet..the PERFECT was away. I flew it for about 5 minutes, reflecting on , and enjoying the effort Kolb, Koch, and SAMBA had put in and was pretty happy that someone , with no discrimination as to 'who you are can acquire one of these beauties from a dealers net work world wide!!! (www.SKIPMILLERMODELS.com shameless plug) This is an amazing year of development for all aspects of R.C soaring, and the PERFECT did not disappoint. Let me digress for a moment...SKIPMILLERMODELS.com came from my World and National competitive involvement on World Teams over the past 30 years...Over this time , I had a personal vested interest to seek out and find the PRIEMER models being developed anywhere in the world...the reason...I can test them and KNOW what i'm up against in any flight group. Most recently I have been competing with the Pike Superior...and when this top secret project of the PERFECT surfaced a few years backlet's just say I was sworn to secrecy. Anticipation to say the least. when SAMBA asked me what I thought about the name PERFECT for the USA market I replied uh, errrh PERFECT! And as of this report...yes it is. Back to the flight report...the idea was to test against my buddies flying the latest and greatest against the PERFECT off short high starts.. Unfortunately the weather was so nasty I couldn't get anyone to assemble there model for a while. So I was flying and dialing this beauty in rough conditions. But what I saw was all around. It hangs well, moves up wind well, launches great, and is predictable on landing. Mine, as one of the first 5 produced by Samba , is a bit heavier then full production models. It weighs 78 oz, which for a model of it's size, is very acceptable. I am sure they will shave a few ounces shaved off as the production numbers improve. I flew against Supra, Espada, Giant, and Sharon 3.7. It seemed effortless in the way it moved in the bad conditions, and appeared to do what ever I asked. A number of top thumbs locally here flew it, and everyone was pleased. The Superior wipes your worries away..The PERFECT delivers! On the second day of short high starting, it was actually sunny and nice. I reflected on the brief tow, the Perfect is like a Supra with b..'s.like a SUPRA on Steroids. It is robust, slippery, nimble, and aesthetically very pleasing. It took 2 launches to get away, the first dinking around at 75 feet for 4 minutes before landing. On the 3rd launch I was away, and flew for just over an hour. I pushed it .pulled it, tweaked it , mixed it, dove it, raced it and basically got it sorted out. Upon landing, my reaction was this ship is All Around! It just does everything well. A few days later I flew in nasty conditions, light gray overcast, and again was impressed by the general

Gordy, that confirmation looks like it came from the same source that the #1 Canopy Supra came from. Hey ? The dim you asked for is 8.24, canopy split line to back side of tow hook.
