christian Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Shame on you Morgy, it was irresponsible videos like that which got poor innocent saps like myself hooked on this sport. That looks soooooooooooooooooo much fun. Fly safe, Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacoolw Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 It looks like it flies and handles like a mini/speed wing: It would be interesting to see a mini wing competing in a slalom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 I have been told mini wings are actually slower around a slalom course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik_Y Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I had an Awak 18 which I flew with motor and it wasn't that fast at all. Faster then a "normal" glider but not as much as I thought it would be. After all it's only a scaled down EN-A glider but the small size makes it handle and fly a bit faster but it doesn't have the profile to be fast. I now got a Speedster 19 that I can't wait to fly and compare with but have to finish my new paramotor build first. From what I understand the Slalom has much tighter turn radius then the mini wings.

Hemberg Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 How is the stability on the slalom? Can it be flown hands off comfortably? I have a speedster 28 now but I miss the handling I had on the fusion 26. Thinking of getting a slalom 21 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgy Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 I had around 5 flights on the slalom and the stability is/seems just as good as the speedster. It is super agile and very efficient for a small wing and needs less power then other small wings. 85kg pilot had flown a 21m slalom on a V5 but does need more power. I flew my 20m GTR on my V5 and could not climb on full trim. We are still to do some speed tests between the two wings. Slalom feels faster...

Skybluerob Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Great vid, good sense of speed. I want one but need to justify spending that extra cash to her indoors. Think I'd go for a 24m for more lift. (Currently using a V5 and Nucleon 34) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 They dont make a 24m Slalom... The Slalom has loads of lift for a smal wing I was shocked on the amount of throttle needed to maintain level flight... TBH the 21m was to big for me.I am 75kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
