RE: Re: 10/97 and 7/99 tan II rubber
I've had lots of good flights with 6/01 Kang. A few of my best ever in fact.
But remember I am no *indoorist*
The 9:45 (?) at Tustin in April 2010 was 6/01.
Plenty of others.

I have heard lots of discussion about 6/01. Great energy return IF the motor
doesn't break.
Has anyone actually had a really good flight with 6/01?
