a DHLG. |

| Bert Magin taking a stock Xterminator Fuse and Obsession
wing and Side arm launching it. No reinforcement eventually took it's

| Phil Barnes new beautiful DHL
prototype Kevlar and Carbon wings. In bottom picture, right wing will be
an aileron wing. Kevlar is laid on a bias with carbon cloth in-between
carbon cap and leading edge for an exceptionally strong wing and still
very light at 4 ounces. Pic files are a little large. |
