"Gulp DS did 112 confirmed on radar today.  VERY LIGHT CONDITIONS.  A friend flew a 2m molded blade and the best he could get was 119.  Every time I DS the Gulp DS I am extremely impressed (so is everyone else).  The stability is AMAZING!  At 112 to gulp felt great.  If the conditions were right I could go much faster and probably have.  We have just never had a radar gun.  There's some new video posted much faster then the last.  If you want to see them let me know.  I know the JW has the fastest foamie DS record.  I KNOW the gulp could beat it!  A friends JW speeds today were in the 80's :(  Gulp is WAY better. Cheers, Dax"

Meet the New! Gulp DS II 

It 's Leaner and Quicker

A 2" longer and 1/2" narrower fuse presents a smaller profile for a faster top end. A new airfoil is still based on the MH45 but has a new entry which brings it on step sooner

More performance, no sacrifice is durability and the same cost to build

These beautiful examples were built by Shane Biddlecombe and Mike Young. That soft wind blown grass is at the Mickeys slope of Bwlch South Wales

Gulp DS built by Greg Smith

Gulp DS built by Bob Miller

 The Gulp DS was inspired by the many designs from Harris Nelson, the JW from Pat Bowman, and input from friends. This plane is not intended for first time builders or flyers! If you have built and flown a foam wing like a Zagi or Boomerang, then you should be able to handle building and flying the Gulp DS. The Gulp kit will take your skills to an advanced level of model building and flying.
