Günter Möller's "Space Doublers"

Price: $50 ; Availability: 1 RH (reserved) + 1 LH

 

This is a pair of tri-bladers used in the doubling event. Made out of 2mm phenolic paper (PERTINAX). For advanced throwers only. Instructions are included. This model requires a harder throw than most doubling sets, but it has better wind resistance as well. Flight distance (weighted) = 24-26 and 27-30m. Thrown at the same time, they separate and return on different flight paths to the thrower. This enables the thrower to catch the Inner Space first and the Outer Space second. This is the technology that Gunter uses when he competes in World Cups! Tip-to-tip Span = 25 cm ; Weight = 84 gm (pair)

Volker Behrens' Blue*Star Doubling Tri-bladers

Price: $55/pair ; Availability: 1 RH sets

 

This is exactly what you need to compete in the popular Doubling event. The tri-blader with a hole in the middle flies high and comes down quickly. The other tri-blader stays in the air about 5 seconds longer allowing you to catch both with plenty of time to spare. These booms are brightly painted and made out of 2 mm Paxolin. Span = 26 cm ; weight = 70 gm

Mark Legg's " Nefertiti Doubling Set Trio "

Price: $60 ; Availability: 2 RH

Günter Möller's Gracht MTA

Price: $26 ; Availability: 3 RH + 3 LH
