Gotcha.

I like the used sail idea myself.

The problem with the 230, is that I will take such a hit in rating, that carrying it isn't worth it (I wanna distance race with the chute). Seeing as though there are no other 5.5's over near me, I won't ever be in a fleet situation with a chute, so my rating does matter.

On the other hand, if I'm distance racing and it's blowing 15-20kts, I doubt very seriously that I'll wanna fly a 350 singlehandedly. I can only imagine how full my hands would be then!

No one has mentioned a hooter......why not?

I'll see if he's still got the 230......
