Well as the subject line says, I finally got my flexi Stacker where it belongs, in the sky. What a RUSH!! I knew it would pull, but I didn't realize just how much. I was only flying in about 15 mph and it gave me quite a thrill. Certainly no airborne kiter or anything, but I was impressed. I am having a hard time imagining how you power hungry folks manage to keep a stack under control. I can hardly wait until we have some decent winds to see just how hard it will pull!! There may be a buggy in my future yet!! Or at least another Stacker or two!!

I have a 3 x 10 stack, but only fly all three in a low wind with the ultraflex spars. I am a wimp. Sigh. But two is great in any wind! Now you need a few more!
