Another interesting one:

Looks like fun, but the fact that the best glide occurs at about the
stall speed of my Mosquito suggests that penetration ability will be
limited. Also, given that it takes me twice as long to rig as anybody
else, an advertised rig time of 40 minutes is a big negative.
As a step up from hang gliding or over from 1-26s, it looks good.
Does SH know about this?
