Uh huh, My favorite big lift model is a custom "U-2" built by Leegun James. It was the first carbon bagged wing he built. As lead sleds go it's a floater, but it was built to lawn dart and goes through foamies like a hot knife through butter:-0 The foamie flyers who don't get the idea of sharing the air often learn after they get speared. At my home slope in Pacifica so far it's U-2 6, foamies 0. Folks there have plenty of respect for glass slipers now...

There was a twinkle of pride in having a custom plane paint mark on his foamie. There could be a hill dedicated to such stubborn, narrow minded, thick skulled people.

I had heard of that event. The person who recalled it to me (he was certainly there) said that Brian knew the risks a took his chances.
