Rick W Rick, Do you know what version of the Duckhawk Chip was flying? There appears to be three versions with progressively higher V speeds and max wing loadings. Thanks, 2C |

![]() Rick, Do you know what version of the Duckhawk Chip was flying? There appears to be three versions with progressively higher V speeds and max wing loadings. Thanks, 2C Kevin I can only say that it was flown about one hundred pounds under the max gross of approx 860#. Conditions never required high wingloading. Tasks were well called and all flights were challenging, to say the least. The first practice day was a 100 knot ridge day, but most did not fly it aggressively. Rick W |

Not that anyone would ever do such a thing, but you could do a pretty impressive low pass with that VNE. |

Not to open a bag of snakes or take anything away from Chip and/or the
DuckHawk, but Jerzy Szemplinski won the 15M Nationals. Nonetheless, Chip is the US National Champion as the top American. Kudos to all. Derek |

Thanks, 2C The version chip was flying for the contest was the DuckHawk SV. The max gross weight is 960 LB and he never flew above 880 LB during the contest. Thanks, Wade |
