<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can imagine so. Had it happen to me
once. Just me and a 40% Edge in the air at the same time. We where
both practicing for a contest (he IMAC and I pattern) and mid aired. My
plane survived but his brand new edge was destroyed. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> This is another subject matter about BIG
Birds. At the two clubs I fly at everyone scatters or is grounded
till these guys get out of the air because they are afraid of the possibility of
midairing a hovering giant. Big is beautiful but there is going to
be a draw back somewhere. </FONT></DIV>
