Chilly Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Its getting late and I have to sleep but very quickly, the Nucleon XX (from my point of view) is like a blending of the Plasma and the Nucleon, but better! Slower than the WRC size for size, but you'd go down in size anyway for the correct weight range. I flew a 29 WRC, but now fly a 24 XX with better glide, and about the same speed as the 29 WRC. Very agile, especially on full fast trim with the light touch tip steering. Launches very easy on full slow, as you'd expect. The sharknose profile makes the whole wing feel more pressurised and solid. I'd look to be in the middle of the weight range for good economy or nearer the heavy end for more speed. I think this will PG very nicely too. ok gotta go ZZZzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george1966 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes patrick I have purchased a 26mt nucleon xx. I really am struggling with my synth in light wind so hopefully having a wing that is 8mts smaller will help. I am picking it up on saturday so hope to be out on it that day if weather stays as predicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george1966 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thanks chilly for your input, I will have to read a manual for the 1st time in my life with respect to the steering system on this wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
