I often fly without an ASI, a GPS, a Parachute, or any gauge whatsoever, and have flown with bent tubes, spliced tubes, and it is my choice based on the circumstances,,,,,,,, I guess I would never say never !!! -- Mark Smith Tri-State Kite Sales http://www.trikite.com 1121 N Locust St Mt Vernon, IN 47620 mailto:mark@trikite.com |
