    Nice one Mark; I always felt that the Gin Falcon compares well with other wings in it's class. For sure it's a near direct replacement for the MacPara Colorado and arguably a similar wing to the Hadron 3 (although the H3 owners seem to disagree). Certainly you know that a tolerance can be built up to motion induced discomfort by repeated exposure and gradual increases in G-force and other accelerations? If you find any part of it enjoyable I encourage you to continue to explore the adjacent areas of the flight envelope.

    Nice, I'd love to try this wing. I was able to fly a Hadron 3 last weekend but the takeoff's on them can be very tricky. I blew my first try (my fault, too much brake) but nailed the second.... you have to be on your game. That Falcon looked like it launches very easy and that's what I am looking for, plus something that I can carve on.

    You'd still attach the police along with FD and EMS. You don't get to make those kinds of calls individually anyways there's dispatching SOPs to every kind-of call you could imagine, and you follow what it tells you to send.
