Anybody flying with tails?

How about this one?

A REV I with six tails on the inner trailing edge. Tails are about 15 meters long.

The tails here are made from Icarex P31 Polyester. Each tail is about 25mm(1") wide. They are hot cut to prevent fraying. They are excellent and slip amongst themselves even in zero wind as long as they don't get wet.

I first tried nylon tails. Their primary faults were being too heavy and snagging each other.

Where do you get Icarex tails? You have to make them yourself.
