@FCbisleybob The fin makes the glider track more. to me it restricts the most efficient flying of the glider. It's great for tow, but when flying around, it feels like the rear is sticking and not as responsive. If you have been flying without the fin, then you wont like using it as much as not having it on. If you haven't flown WITHOUT the fin, then you won't know the difference.
Yea, Tried to talk him out of using it. I hated the fin during flight, but it sure worked during tow. You are going to enjoy the Eagle. I owned a 164 and that is a favorite of mine. Easy to set up, decent glide, super easy to land.
about my last comment have you flown without the fin what is the difference?
