Group,
I picked up my sons a zagi last weekend at the NW model show. I was planning
on getting them a Hitec focus III fm 555rx and 2 hs81mg's for the zagi. That
setup would cost me about 110 bucks. I ran across the weekly sale at
nesail.com. Sal has the multiplex pico international set on for
I can't remember... is the setup supposed to be
biased so that the upgoing surface travels more than the downgoing one, or is it
the other way around? Thanks

Thanks to all who answered; after rereading the instructions that came with

just to be sure: the chute is in fact actually _part_ of the tow line then

The high-start parachute doesn't open during launch
because of tension between the line end and the plane end, which YES, IS the

The tension on the apex of the chute keeps it colapsed. Just hold on the top
ring and pull on the shrouds you will see what I mean.

Seems like you should just time them in similar conditions. If you fly a
course with pylons 150m apart, down and back, down and back, you'll find
that the small plane might be quicker on the first pass, but the speed will
diminish after that. The big plane will ultimately have a faster time.
The
the tension on the line pulls the chute closed - its tied to the winch line

wont open up until that tension is less than the pressure from the air
coming at it.

Stefan,
Most chutes have shroud lines that run from the bottom ring that attaches to
the tow line to the top ring tht attaches to the glider. This facilitates
two things, one it allows the pull of the tow line to hold the chute closed
while launching and it also keeps the cloth of the chute f
That's right.

Lenny's was a Nats win. Lenny flies a lot of open class stuff, so it took
