rob999 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 As a newbie, I was under the impression that EN ratings were the level of flight competance required for the wing. Beginner..A, possibly B. Competant..B or C Expert..C and above... I was looking on the Apco site re their Force wing. Its EN C rated, however their suitability guide shows beginner and upwards. I this a case of a C rated wing is flyable by a beginner, but be careful and don't push it, unlike a B wing where you could push more with less chance of getting into trouble ? Are C wings more 'active' and require active pilot input compared to B wings which are more stable and respond better to power off, hands off when things get unstable ?? I guess its Revo 2 v Apco Force sort of comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelt Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi, I was also looking at the Apco, as i was interested in the Apco lift as it was EN-B and apparently one of the best in the range, but the Force is the upgraded and more competitive version of the Lift. This is why i chose the lift over the force, and will hopefully purchase one of these. Is there any specific reason you want a force over a lift? or can i suggest maybe getting the lift? Its apparently the same thing, apart from its a little larger for stability and control, but doesn't lack in the speed and handling that the force has and comes in the same designs.

rob999 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 I was trying to find out what the realistic classifications of B or C EN rating actuallly meant in th real world. I was only using the Force and Revo 2 to highlight what I was trying to ask thats all... But I think Simon has some large Force for sale at a silly price.....??? Do you have any Revo 2 at a similar silly price ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
