IcePoint?

[Grow Pattern]

I flew mine for about 20 days of flying and liked it for both FAI and 404. It is now in the hands of a 402 enthusiastic newbie.

George Asteris has been flying FAI with his ICEPOINT all NJ spring and I see him fly it most days. Both his and mine did the job. Does it snap like my Impact? Nope! and I would not expect it to. Does fly legal snaps? No problem, up or down.

You have a lot of room to put in a full-size OS CF pipe so the 1.40 should turn the 17 x 12's and 13's with no problems.

Regards,

Eric.

  Eric, was curious if you had flown the IcePoint much since your review.  I just lost my Angel Shadow (interference) and need a replacement quickly.  I have a backup but it isn't the same caliber as the Angel.

  My primary question/concern has to do with snaps.  Have you tried any of the vertical snaps in the FAI P05 pattern?  I am concerned with the 1100 sq in of wing area on the IcePoint and getting it to snap in the vertical lines.

  I will be using my trusty OS140s in what ever I obtain and would probably retrofit a soft mount into the plane if I get an IcePoint.

  TIA
