Which are the most successful...Or....if I were interested in competing which could give me the strongest advantage?

Statistically I think your best bet is to film Piero flying for about 70 seconds then bash him over the head, grab the lines from his rapidly going limp hands, land the kite and call that your video.

I really don't think it's the kite that makes the difference. But the Deep Space and Cosmic TC have the most VF wins with the Deep Space actually being used by more than one winner.

I mostly agree with you about the kites, however I don't remember the last time I saw a New Tech Rainbow Princess in competition.

Ah ... this is interesting .. perhaps we should handicap "The Mighty Piero" with this kite (of yours

) for VF14 ?

You don't have to but I thought you wanted a competitive advantage ?

VF mug - Tom Patterson
Highest place newcomer - Sven Arnesen (VF mug)
As no man should have a VF mug cruelly dragged from their grasp due to my cock up I'll send one along to Pierre as well.

Ummm..... have you ever had something to do.... only half done it but mentally ticked it off your To Do List ? 8-[

Clearing the car out last night I thought "what's this bag doing in here ? Isn't that the one I used to take the VF mugs to.... oh." :shock:

V. sorry but they are in the post now. I haven't heard back from Carl so if any of the prizes coming from him aren't there yet, let me know and I'll chase it up. The DS UL should be under way and the FA KQs have been done.

You're better off with Davey

Nothing arrived here , Mike.

Sorry 'bout this but....

has anyone received their prizes from VF13 ? It's just that I've had a message that some haven't arrived yet and I can't recall anyone confirming that they had.

Please let me know here and I'll chase up the donors to come across with the goods. If you have received them, please let me know too.

Mike.
