20/04/2009 | The glider is very quick to rig about 25 min and can be flat rigged. The twist, washout is manufactured into the leading edges combined with fixed tips and slighty more sweep then other rigids makes for a very stable platform.
The glider has the more usual spoilers for roll and a closed loop control system with no nose wires. The flaps split in two length wise for derigging that enables them to be large, yet not impact on the folding up of the wing.
The rib trailing edge junction is very clever and quick to attatch as are the fixed tips. Very good roll control, quick to roll in and a little slower to roll out, pitch is light but positive, speed control using the flaps the same as the Atos.
The landing is no harder then a sky floater! A very easy glider to fly. The sink rate is very good and weights only 32 Kg.
