This was the limited edition . it never made it off the ground very far due to it's high wing loading .but it was reported to have made it rain on launch angering the local pilots .

Yes, we now refer to that landing approach as "plan O". Well I can see were feeling much better after taking out a shoulder & leading edge , but then again any landing you walk away from is a good landing intentional or otherwise. :P :lol: :D :)We had a great time thanks again for you...
