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

Count me in 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:

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.

Susan

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!

praise the jam!

I will bring my 6.9m npw5. what is a ragflapper and what do you mean by flying with no lines?:puzzled:

I am not much of a participant in scheduled events, but this sounds like a blast! Count me in!

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.

Check out the picture on the first post and you will see AJ flying a nasa wing on handles.

sounds like a blast, I will bring my nasawing and count me in for the race, it never occured to me to fly that sucker w/o lines but I will give it a shot.:D
