Karlton et al, I cannot tell you guys how much fun a Slingwing is. I never flew free flight, and this thing flies so well, you will not believe it, it could get you hooked. I know Ray hayes watched it and was really impressed. This thing will duly impress the neighborhood kids too.

What is Panda Class? Well it is designed to get kids in to R/C soaring or just R/C. What the idea is to allow up to say 12 year olds to be on a buddy box and let them fly ANY plane like an electric. The task is easy fly ANY part of the 3 minute flight and land in the LSF level 1 spot. EVERY PANDA PILOT gets first place. Adjust or alter the rules to fit your club and or Panda Pilots. Any club doing a Panda class please contact me so I can help out with awards. NO they wont even say Multiplex all over them I just want to help get this going. Shift gears sort of; At the CASL contest I had brought a load of SLING wings to hand out or sell. But other problems kept me from doing it. However I got to say if you like cool flying toys the sling wing launched in to a thermal is great fun. I was surprised to find a few other closet sling wing fans at CASL who had brought there own wings out to play with. I would encourage ANY club to get some to bring in more kids. Sling wings $1.50 each if you look at http://slingwing.com/index.html you will see this is cost! We just want to get them out more....
