What does it mean? Is this for the new Peregrine-Lite?

That the advertising dept. at PD is smoking a little too much weed? I'm sure they impressed themselves at least.


p.s. Don't come at me with "No such thing as too much weed"

No such thing as an advertising dept. at PD

Don't know what it means, but I see a naked lady in those wisps of smoke.

Dumb question: How does anyone know that it is a PD ad? I must admit that I did not look at it too long. I didn't take the time to guess what the advertisement is about. The ad was wasted on me, but then again, I'm not the kind of person waiting around for the NCT.

It says PD at the bottom of the page...plus their little skull thing.

Probably their new Leiagrine for joe sixpack.

hard to see in this photo but there is a pd and skull at the bottom.

I'm not sure if that is what the ad was (i'd assume so?), but the 7 cell, schumann planform seems to be getting close to release.

They had one in the factory/sponsored colors at Nationals and sounds like they wanted to create a little buzz with it.

some pics and a little info here. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152395906249220&set=a.45657939219.59729.622434219&type=1&theater

I'd say the ad worked as you're talking about it. That is the purpose of advertising. To get people to talk and buy your product.

you can see a crossbraced canopy image from the bottom in the smoke, nose at the top, tail at the bottom.

Definitely the Leiagrine

Any guesses on a name? Since they placed a V in the middle of the canopy, my guess is they're going with Velocity2 - just like they did with the sabre2 even though it was a completely different wing than the original. We shall see...

Hmmm. Almost not sure if I should post this.

I don't have any inside info at all... but based on the V logo/design the name that popped in my head was Valkyrie.

Has some cool wing/flight history in the name. Badass women.. seems to fit.

After googling a bit, the valkyrie wings look a lot like that V/logo.

Do I win a prize if I am right? Maybe a "stfu" email from PD? ha!

Of course the Valkyries chose half of those slain in battle and carried them off to Valhalla. Interesting choice. Lol

I got a little bit of a chub when I saw the ad.

Most likely hype leading up to this:
