    Better Beamer flash extender effectiveness at high speed and distance update.

    I believe there is a shadow on the belly caused by the flash when he flew in close.
    A side note, he just took a dip & sometimes I would notice ice crystals, also I believe from the flash.

    I'm always glad to see tubenoses and this one looks very good as does the pose. Maybe a bit more room to fly into.
