New speed flying vids from the Sierra, come join in the fun!

Submitted by DaveTurner

 

The sport is catching on here. People are calling, some are showing up. Nylon in the wind, Crazies at the controls, and smiles all around.

The Sierra has been known for skiing, climbing, backpacking, and all that great stuff. But now there is a new wave of pilots coming here. Not many, by any means. But every month one more pilot contacts me and comes out. Soon there will be many....

But until then- I am going to just keep bagging the first descents of most launches until you get your **** out here and join in!

The two most recent videos-

The new Spitfire that I got is an 11meter, a lot faster than the XT (!), and the glide is not all that much less than the XT. I weigh 90kgs with no gear on, so it is kind of hard to tell- I am hauling ****!

15m Spitfire ?
and how does it compare to your 16 XT for glide ratio ?
