Hey Jim,
The ballast is the slip fit tube type made popular by the Icon; you can go
solid rods, as used on the Espada R as well.
Also, tomorrow Philip will be doing some dead air testing in early A.M..
but tonight is friday night in Istanbul....so not sure how early early will
be.
He quantifies everything, so I'll post somthing next week.

I agree and am going to try both, but our difference is that I have to see
if they will beat the feeling I have for my JR powered ICON. ;-)
I have heard the Pike "Perfect" uses a ballast system similar to the ICON,
which I think is ideal.
P.S. Yes, JoJo, I will now try my first Pike, the "Perfect".

As I see it there are two major efforts I have seen this year. Both have
been working on for a long time and using much more technology and
thinking than we have seen before. And I am going for them both ;-) I cant
wait to see if either the Supra ( http://www.kennedycomposites.com/ ) or
the Pike Perfect ( http://www.f3j.com/ ) will beat the feeling I have for
my Volz powered Pike Giant (oh no - not another Gordy phrase :).
