OK, now for a differing and contradictory opinion... I have flown many many gliders over my 27+ years of model soaring. When I had the opportunity to fly a Sharon, I took it. When I had the opportunity to buy that Sharon 3.7 Pro - X tail, I jumped at it. It is my one and only thermal duration,

So how come he brought three of them and has been flying with one type of plane longer than I fly any one type of plane? Maybe he is trying to horde those Sharon's I be thinking -Original Message-From: Mike Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Monday, March 07, 2005

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!

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. And they will all look to you for set-up tricks, so you could give them the super secret set-up version ;^) I am just glad to spread the word on a design that works so well on so

Yes, too true. Before the Sharon, it was the Sapphire. Some guys just keep designing gliders that fly exactly the right time and hit the darn spot. :^) Mike At 10:24 AM 3/7/2005, Bill's Email wrote: See, I knew it was the Sharon and NOT Smith. Maybe I gotta get me one of them things!! Bill

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

Hi folks, Posting for a friend off-list. He's looking for a relative comparison of the flying abilities of the Sharon 3.7 and Eraser Xtreme, and since I've never flown a Sharon, I'm not much help. I'd assume that the Eraser would be better at working light or tight lift, but what about

I am on my third Sharon Pro3.7. Been flying them for about 3 years, except last year "personal reasons". They are a real hand full to launch, must be flown at exactly the right air speed, a cow to land, and quirky in a thermal. Tell him to Please stick with the Eraser. It's much better.
