Subject: Re: Longest flights with the Bug
I've had some INCREDIBLY long flights with my ultralight BUG (>20
minutes). It is now unfortunately AWOL (I lost it in a thermal) but
while I had it I would log flights of 5+ minutes regularly. I'd
often speck it out so high that I would lose it visually and have to
hold the stick in the corner and look for the flashing light falling
out of the sky.
If you build a BUG with special attenion to weight, and finish it in
the 2.5 to 3 oz range, you should have a lot longer flights.
