Yeah, but with a 73 inch wing on the back of that bike, you may want to worry about lift.

I like the banner idea. Perhaps I need to start a thread over on the other NG looking for suggestions, or maybe a surprise would be better.
I haven't dragged a banner behind a park flier before, I guess I don't know how much of one I could drag. Hell, the SmoothE hasn't even arrived yet. Come to think of it, I haven't dragged a banner behind the sailplanes either. I wonder if towing a few feet of audio tape behind the Spectra would help in finding those elusive thermals?

A section of white trash bag? ;^)
I'm not sure the lift would be a real concern when you factor in the bike's weight, your weight etc.
ROFL. I like it.

Guess I shouldn't have omitted the emoticon. Please place a 'winky' ;-) at the end of my last post to indicate that it was a joke.

That was a given. I mean...would YOU trust a CB100 to provide enough umph to keep your battery packs charged during a days flying? ;^)

You're very welcome. Every now and then you get one over the plate that is a gimme and you just Pound that puppy right out of the park. "Anybody have a sharpie?" Be interesting if you can figure out how to do it though...wonder how many would get the pun as it flew by?

When you're a poor college student (Monty Python in the background), you have to trust your CB100. There's no other way to get around. (I was so poor, I had to use a CB100 to go to the model plane field.)

You were RICH...
...I can remember taking models on my pedal cycle and thought I was well off - at least I could get to fly.

You mean you got to fly? Then you were well off. I had to wait until all finished flying and were packing before I could fly.

I needed others then - we all flew C/L models - mainly with no u/c so needed help to launch

We had to trudge 25 miles through waist deep snow...;^)

Oh you had it easy you did! We had to slog through
50 miles of waist deep gravel, BOTH WAYS! Up hill and -40F with 40 mph winds...that was a GOOD day. C/L gliders because we couldn't FIND fuel much less afford it. Kids these days have it easy.Oh, I guess I forgot to mention that we were barefoot?

You had C/L gliders? Boy you were lucky, we couldn't afford the string to fly C/L gliders, we had to hand launch them.

When I say string what I really mean is that we'd steal hair from the barber shop and braid our lines by hand during our once a week 2 minute lunch break...in the helium mines.
We had to wrap barbed wire around our bare feet for traction in the snow.
You were LUCKY to have the barbed wire! WE had to scavenge the land fill for rusty can lids, then tie them to our feet with old s'getti! But it was still fun in spite of the difficulties.
