lukebanks1 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hi Guys, I'm selling my Nucelon 29. Its a great all rounder of a wing - competition winning handling and THE best XC wing on the market. It's in excellent condition and is low hours. Produced Sept 2010. I now fly an Ozone Speedster so no need for this wing. More pics available on request. £1400 Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel_d. Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I have been thinking of changing my nuke for one of them, how would you compare them? Any down sides? Cheers Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Nigel The only down side is it is 2-3 km per hour slower for Equal wing size... + sides Easier launch. Better tip steering (far more responsive) Faster turning. You can get away with a much smaller wing for same eco. Great in thermals. Much slower approach speed on landing. (if you come in on slow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybound Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Nigel The only down side is it is 2-3 km per hour slower for Equal wing size... + sides Easier launch. Better tip steering (far more responsive) Faster turning. You can get away with a much smaller wing for same eco. Great in thermals. Much slower approach speed on landing. (if you come in on slow) True..... But very little reflex, so a lot less stability and more pilot input when needed. Pilots that have been used to the secure feeling from reflex may feel a little unnerved for a few hours. You don't get something for free. More reflex more drag. I fly the Hadron which is similar in characteristics. On a nice day day a dream to fly, fast, efficient and a joy to chuck about. But, when its a bit more lively then be prepared to pilot it as with any other glider that has less reflex and more like a classic design. This is not pointed at anyone person, but there are less ethics when money is involved and product needs to be sold. Just telling it straight.
