Re: [RCSE] Looking for a comparison between the Eraser Xtreme and Sharon
You know he's friends of Sharon's, he likes those long sexy wings... 8-) (P.S. And you know we like the company, how many rounds did we fly together at the Nats?) 8-)) But I really like what I fly, I have many seasons of stick time on it, and even have a new stiffer one and a barely used one as backs. I have to say, the Sharon is a molded model that has hung around and been very competitive for a number of years, unlike many designs.

Sorry if I have let the cat out of the bag. You know you still have a jump on everyone your experience on the Sharon.

RE: [RCSE] Looking for a comparison between the Eraser Xtreme and Sharon
Good going MIKE!!! Now everyone will be in on this little secret on these gliders! Everyone will get one now, so much for keeping a competitive edge on everyone out there! The Sharon is just like anything else, a tool... but it's my tool of choice in my vast hanger of options!! Just my 2-cents!

I'm pushing him towards an Eraser of some description since I've been flying them for 5 years faithfully, but don't have any direct experience with anything other than the F3B version. Anyone have a NIB or like-new Sharon or Eraser Xtreme (or F3J) that they want to sell? Would have to be in perfect shape, no repaired models please. Cheers, Adam PS - got to fly a pair of bald eagles today as we both themalled out from about 50 feet...what a treat!
