Tricky Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hi all I was looking in to maybe purchasing the niviuk kougar 2, does anybody own one? if so i would like to hear there personal views and thoughts on it... and also what sort of flying speed would you expect to get out of it...I.E trims in and fully trimmed out etc..? Has anyone test flown one up against other wings side by side in the air..?? Look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences safe flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR002 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I had the Kougar 2 size 23 on demo. This wing is so easy to launch my own wing is a Paramania GTX 24. The Kougar is a couple of km an hour slower at all same trim setting. But speed is not every thing, the Kougar does not have that annoying oscilation that you can get on the GTX. I flew the Kougar with the tip steering line tied to the brake handles and I had to shorten the wing tip lines by 10 cm to get lovely precise handling. This wing was solid and stable on XC straight line flying but good fun to throw about as well. If you can get a demo go for it as its a really good wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flypapuk Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The kouger 2 is not the fastest of wings and you will find that you will need to go down a size than your used to, they do have loads of lift and very easy going in flight, it is also quite capable if you want it to be, let me know if you would like a demo Thanks Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
