Since I didn't notice it on the score sheet this time around, can we get a rundown of who's flying what?

Me (Jared): Quantum Pro SUL

By my reckoning....

4 x Deep Space (I thought this was passé ?)

3 x Cosmic TC
3 x QPro (hmm... I wonder why so many ?)
3 x Talon

2 x Nirvana
2 x Fearless

Succubus, French Connection, Widow, Element, Saber, Soul.

(of all weights, frames, etc.)

Mike.

Here you are.... the colors are black, white, light grey, dark blue.

The reason why the blue looks grey in the video is 1: the distance, 2: I turned down the saturation.

:shock:

I've watched (closely) most of your videos and no way would I have said there was any dark blue on that kite. Or indeed any blue.

Live 'n' learn.

Absolutely... but from the VF entries and variations-on-a-theme videos I'd pretty much assumed that it was monochrome (hence the faulty colouriser pic.).

Odd.

From the looks of it, all 3 were SULs... I can't speak for the others, but I know it's the only thing I own that would fly that day. :)

UBNVUS was flying a standard (but I'll agree it looked like a SUL).
