Anything can be DS'd chris, it just takes beefing up the components to handle the forces. I DS'd my bee to almost the point of destruction,and that was with no mods. Anyone remember my flutter?

Hey Andrew i have nearly fixed my Reaper after it miss fortune maiden so i was wondering if we could go out and try some DSing sometime at Maleney or somewhere because i am really itching to give DSing a go go ae......Maybe even give the Fatboy a go and see how she plays out in the DSing, It does allright at SC but need to go to Maleney where i can really put her to the test ;D All i need to do is replace the servoes in the wing which i have, Recover the wing and the reaper is all good to go again..... Regards, Chris ;D

was that up on sids ridge callun That indeed was on Sid's Ridge. I remember a few times I slotted right into the groove and roared past people on the top turn, pull up at the bottom turn, and the whole airframe would shake noisily, washing off all of my energy, and the other flyers would overtake me again

Callun I don't reckon I got to overtake you as from memory I never held it together for more than one loop! You guys were amazing, ripping right into your first ever DS attempts! Ding's Skua was memorable too - he had that thing lapping about 6 inches off the ground. Man that thing took some big hits too, but he kept getting it back up there until something terminal finally died! this was a pic of the ridge that day, late in the arvo (I had to lighten the pic a lot) - Steve's Rover parked on the back. You can't get up there now due to bits of landslip, so when the westerlies come again we need to have a working bee to fill some holes with rocks.

I would like to try out this site....It looks really good for DSing, We should go and ask the people again and see if they will let us go on there to fly any takers

How far up can you get there Andrew? Can you still get to where Sean parked his car over further to the right of that pic?
