For those who want hang time

I think this is a 12m, 3.3 A/R

Is it possible to design for strength, if the designer doesn't really understand what strength is?
8m speed wings.
Ozone Samurai 3m
Sky Country Reflex 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10m new 6m!
Sky Country NaSCa 2 11m

Libre Vampir Race Pro 2.6m

I think Tonya/Solaris might be upset at that comment. Her husband would be even more upset if she had them.
