It apparently changes pull with different apparent wind. Is this new? a hoax? Will it be at El Mirage in October for the North American Buggy Championships? The following is from the description of the Orange: ..... Thus it is not described by size, but rather by performance, just choose the amount of pull that you require. Orange 20/40 Pull: 20kg(6mph) -> 40 kg(40mph) Orange 30/60 Pull: 30kg(5mph) -> 60 kg(35mph) Orange 40/80 Pull: 40kg(4mph) -> 80 kg(30mph) Orange 50/100 Pull: 50kg(3mph) -> 100 kg(25mph) ..... Please inform us! -- Steve Bateman bateman@mail.sdsu.edu Flying along.
