andre Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Flight test is still outstanding, need to either find a hall big enough or a zero wind day. Since it is designed mainly for indoor use, besides it size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 That is CRAZY light... less than 1/2 the weight of my ProDancer. Did you ever get any tricks out of the Spectre ? I remember hearing that you & PAW were working on getting it tuned for some tricks ( I think... ). I can only guess that with the light weight of this one, there aren't any tricks in it... I can barely get an axel & 540 out of my ProDancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hi, PAW managed to get some tricks out of the spectre, under very specific wind conditions, namely below 1mph. Where the wind preasure was low enough not to simply blow the spectre away during the tricks. This one will most likely not survive trying a trick in the first place. And its more like 1/3th the weight of the pro dancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
