Jason,
Nice Bug.
Is it difficult to see a bug with the clear covering at altitude?
I was concerned that mine would blend into the background so I used
the clear covering on the bottom of the wing and red ultracoat light
transparent for the top of the wing.
Here's a question for everyone who SAL's.
Do you SAL launch with your thumb on top, or your thumb on the bottom?
I always launch with my thumb underneath on the spar and my index
finger on top on the spar with the middle finger just behind the
index.
Noticed that Jason has a thumbpad on top of the wingtip.
John
