martin-o 0 #3 October 17, 2007 Depends on if you want it to look good and keep inflated. If so, you need to make it really wide. The problem is that it will be extremely slow. I have built tubes that where about 30 feet long, and already at that length they where getting kinda slow. If you want to discus any further feel free to PM. /Martin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klingeme 0 #5 October 29, 2007 I have one that is 27' long and it provides too much drag for maost people to fly head down with it. I did have it slightly tapered on the end to make it more rigid. Mark Klingelhoefer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
