Interesting.
Externally, it appears a bit spindly compared with the US DS specials.
But then, if it's 90% carbon, 10% air...............

I reckon it's far more about the venue than the model - where was this achieved ?

DS Diva - RC-Network

On Fri / Sat there were 40 mph + winds in Switzerland....  unusual...

Anyone sorted the altitude of the venue yet chaps ?

Google Earth bangs it in at around 990M. I reckon the treeline DS aspect helps in those winds.
