Cubes, His name is Marley Bob and yes he does sleep most of the time. Any time I change power settings he gets up and looks around. He seems to like the Thorp. I worry about his hearing but he does't complain!

A three place! Incredible. You guys amaze me!
Wow, looks like he's having fun!...

So tell me, did you remove your canopy, or is that permanent? I assumed you just removed it for Marley Bob's sake.

Being new to Thorp's, I understood it was originally designed without a canopy, but didn't realize you guys still actually fly like that, too.

Just trying to learn as much as I can about them. Thinking about picking one up!

Pete,
The canopy's there... You just can't see it because it's CLEAR. ;)
Just seems to be gettin' some good air/wind from the vent.

Once the turtle deck was designed, we do not fly without the canopy anymore. It has extremely disturbed airflow without it. Please don't try it.
