Deep Space UL.

Yeah, yeah, the Talon UL is very sweet - but the DS UL flies lower ... and it'll complement that DS you have coming already.

+1

and the tailweight is easy to remove to get just a little more low end flight

The talon ul was more for me. The DS ul is good but has a dead spot flare to fade. I know I am not alone with this problem. I sold my DS ul but still have all my talons.

The talon sul flies way lower than both and cyniques like a beauty :cool:

I still love the std DS though

@Dave: If you remove the tail weight and/or the upper spreader on the DS standard - it'll get you someways towards ultralight flight.
