2pac 6 #2 August 13, 2003 Yes these data are true, I was filming Yuri in Italy and after rewieving the video on my 72 cm television screen I lost him at about 1 minute 44 seconds.

outrager 6 #8 August 16, 2003 Yo ! Equipment was an old S3 prototype (smaller wings) and Vertigo's new Merlin. S4 proto i had didn't fit perfectly, but i'll give it a few more tries in Norway. I believe a well-fitting S4 (or even a regular S3 on a good day) can cross 5km mark from the same spot ;-) bsbd! Yuri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
