bholleran Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I would love to see the stats on this. 1. size of each glider 2. take off weight of each glider 3. trim position of each glider 4. speed bar position of each gliger etc. As these could all make a big diference to the outcome, I think it is really misleading without this information. I have no idea which is fastest in the real world but you NEED all the facts for it to be objective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jock Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 I flew my nivuk hook 1-2 glider with 2 reflex wings the other day off-on bar they left me for dust. cant see an Antea being faster,yes it would recover better,but off the reflexs ive seen, fusion for one.never seen the pilots have any tucks etc,even in very bumpy or thermic weather, suppose i could take of haft hr earlier than the reflex wings,but they probly over take me anyway lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 None of us should fall into the 'Dull' propaganda machine and neither also speak of which wing is faster than another. It's all been over done several times on this forum (and other forums) before. We all know the factors affecting speed and we're not going to succumb to "this is faster and and that's faster" again (hopefully). Just look up the (very limited) official test results and be content with their assessments. http://www.para2000.org/wings/sky/antea-speeds.html http://www.para2000.org/wings/paramania ... peeds.html (Vol Libre tests with paramotor - look at the sink rate!) "Within any recent unmodified EN class (A/B/C/D) and at the same weight/wing area, you won't see more than 5kph difference in all speed levels (stall/trim/speed bar) of any wing" Richard PS - Jock, buy an 8 sqm speed wing and you'll be faster than anyone!

norbertflyer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Mike, The Haresfield PPG site is a lovely flat piece of land and close to the Cotswold hills (Google Earth it). Great PPG flying country. Not to be confused with the SW PG site at Haresfield Beacon (called "Scaresfield"....) which is not recommended for low hill timers. Richard.
