Poly Fast Catch by Léo Ribeiro
Price: $21 ; Availability: 8 RH

This Poly Fast Catch was made out of a Polypropylene triFly and modified by narrowing the blades and by adding airfoiling for right handedness. Has lead tape on underside to extend range to 20 metres. Nicely painted and works great, but you have to have some tuning skills. You need to adjust height by adding dihedral and you can adjust range by angle of attack.

Factor 2008 by Georgi Dimantchev
