only 60:1????


Right. More span would yield higher LD, but
this is counter-productive if it yields lower
high-speed performance and/or lower max loading
and/or lower maneuverability.

Martin Heide has taken a different approach
with the ASH-30 (ie higher span, lower max
loading, higher max LD)...

We'll see which works best in Uvalde !

See ya, Dave "YO electric"

PS: 60:1 for real, not just for the brochure.
