Mike, Good meeting and talking with you yesterday at the N50 match. I'm going to order a set of flags from Ray this week. Hope to see you at the next match.

Nice meeting you too, Allen. I do plan to be at the August match - see you then!

I like the one sail tail modification. What are the tiny black grommets/eyelets? Thanks!

They are fiber washers that I super glued on to prevent wear and damage to the flags.

I balance my flags slightly tail heavy because it dampens the bobbing around that occurs with an even balance. Ray and I disagree on this subject. I think he must get much lower wind speeds where he lives because the super light , and short dual tails he usually provides are not very useful above about 3 mph.

So just wondering how a slower flag helps in a lite wind?
He probably would send them without a tail and you could make your own?!
