Just wondering how many of you still fly Hybrids?
Our big issue in Orangeburg, SC has been aging GSE. One of the issues I hear from the AP and Sugar crowd is "it's too complicated !" Is that the main issue or is it something else? Here's what I see:
1. Commercial AP motors - Generally reliable but somewhat pricy....
2. Research home made AP motors - with practice and desire, not a bad way to go
3. Sugar - Easy to make but, somewhat less umph (technical term) when compared to AP motors
4. Hybrid - more complicated but, cheaper to fly than commercial AP and Research Motors
5. Liquid - we don't need to go there.... as much as I would like to.
I have to admit, I am a big fan of the Hypertek System. I flew my Level 1 and Level 2 on a Hypertek J on the same day. (way back in the day, when you could do that) I did my Level 3 on a Hypertek M. I must admit I am aggravated with the state of Hybrid GSE which is why Malcolm and I are doing the new GSE System. I'd like to hear what you think........
Thanks, Sam
