matt_k Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I have been flying a revo 1 24m for the past 2 years, I wanted to move onto something more lively and looked at all the options and had a few demos. I flew the gtr 20 tonight definetly made the right choice for me, i ground handled for about half hour then decided to clip in. it was the easiest wing i have ever launched popped up like a slice of toast in light winds although once in the air alot more input was needed than im used to. landing was not as fast as i thought it was gonna be although still fast enough but bled out nice. Defintly not a wing for a beginner as theres no room for error but an intermediate pilot whos got his head on its a blast!! You can tell it will do whatever you want it to do if you have the balls i just need to grow mine a little more as time goes by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_mow Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Glad ya enjoyed it mate. Look forward to seeing you fly with it. Can't wait till I am at a stage where a can trade my revo 2 in for something a bit sportier. Even tho it's the best wing in the world at the min! Is it much harder to fly than the revo? How many hours did ya have on the revo when you made the jump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_k Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 It was the same but different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_mow Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Same as in it flys but different coz it's faster, more agile, and more responsive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_dunn Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Matt- What weight are you and what powerunit are you using? A 20m wing seems really small..... i bet it's lively!! What kind of speed can you achieve? GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_k Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Im only 65kgs so its small but not as weighted as most are flying Very responsive in turns you need more outside break than i am used to but not as thirsty as i thought it was gonna be i had plenty of power left on full reflex aswell and flying top80 130 prop.

gordon_dunn Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Miniplane? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_k Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yes miniplane abm, im no expert pilot by the way and not planning going into comps but just enjoy a looser type of flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon_dunn Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 thought it had to be a Miniplane.. around 10kgs lighter than 'equivalent' machines... This weight and light pilot weight explain why a 20m wing works for you. A definite advantage! I used to fly my Fusion 26 with a H&E R120/99 but with the Miniplane now my climbrate is much greater.
