Excellent pictures again.

Seeing some pictures of the riggers, I wondered are the booms supposed to flex that much as in these pictures?

Thanks! No, booms should not flex like that ideally.

All those booms look like carbon fiber ..... Does aluminum flex like that

 

[David Bryant]

Also, some of the widest sponson configurations I've seen. Due to the longer (than typical) lengths of boom tubes the sponsons flex to the point of positive camber?

Nice pics Ian, cool capture of Gino's Lynx getting some airtime...

I think his pitman should have been telling him to take it a bit easier! :lol:
