I hope the new one is a Vampire as well.

I think you are all "wimps" here, whatever that means ;)

The only reason to sell a vampire is when you get a new one HeHeHe

Had a great time in denmark...

Max weight was 4,2kg

Very nice Kai, looks like a nice slope to visit, wonder if the Danish Eurotour races there.

 

How does the Vampire compare to the Crossover?

 

Cheers

Hi Tom,

there are often a lot of people at the slope. So you have to be carefull. Our holiday cottage is just a few meters behind the edge. Just needed a minute to go to the slope. I flew there often in the early morning and in the evening. no chance for f3f. Fall is a really good time to fly there.

A light f3b vampire combined with a crossover is in my opinion the best stuff to fly f3f in any wind situation.

Crossover in light wind seems not to be that good. If the wind gets stronger then it is time for the co. The co needs ballast as early as possible.

The vampire handles windy situation even without the max ballast. My opinion. Both a very fast.

But overall the old srtl surprised me the most.

A modified rg15. Wow, gets really fast.

I just bought a second one. Heavy version nr2. With a T-tail. I have never seen a srtl in the uk. Not even in a video.

I think its the most important to know his own model. To fly as often as possible and play with the setup.

Greetings, Kai

Here's another Video. Just in raw format. A quick cut. And a few photos.

We had a great time in denmark again. Family holiday and slope soaring combined in a perfect way.
