We had a discussion at DBBB about having a short course NPW circuit race this yr at NABX. Of course lines would NOT be allowed. This could be a tight
course and tight racing action.I wanted to know if there are any other rag flappers that would like this type of race?.....................aj

Well, hell, I'd have to hit Corey up for a crackling-new NPW, but THIS kinda racing sounds like fun! I've never dared to race yet, but I think I
would try this! :moon:krocdoc - 1-12-2005 at 09:31 PM
I think it would be awesome! We could use an abacus to count laps and a sun dial to time them....

Hey Kroc
I know that you are just jealous because you do not have a nasa wing. Are you afraid of becoming a rag flapper. You will be missing out on a lot of
fun.

this just in: reports indicate that team bskh is back and will be running a secret new nasa offspring. desert testing has begun and a full racing
program has started.
this fearsome team is made up of members Blake Pelton aka first place soft wing winner 2005, Kite maker designer extrodanaire Jose Sainz, pilot and
builder Claxton Thompson, color co-ordinator Ron Gibian, and team mascot #13!
also joining the team in 2006 tba a ringer!
Team KsBh will be clearing the track. f33r u5! w00t!

A ragflapper is a person who flys nasa wings. I should know I fly them. On windy days when the wind is over 30 mph we fly the nasa wings on handles.
You take off the 100 ft. lines and attach the bridle line directly to the handles. By doing this you have a very small wind window and can buggy in
winds that are real strong and be safe. Hope this helps.
