Verdict: The perfect wing for people who enjoy climbing a mountain more than flying. If you want to enjoy the flight, there are other options if you accept to carry a couple hundred grams extra.
Thanks a lot to Gigi Meyer from Flugschule Pfronten for letting me fly the wing.
What I like:
* Super compact packing (4 Liters), really nice compression bag
* Lines sort very easy at takeoff
* SUUUPER easy to start and ground handling
* It still feels safe in the air. Many people complain it doesn't feel quite assuring, and there is some truth to that but is not really bad. It flatters while flying and has some aggressive movements in turbulence, but they are short-lived. And those movements transmit you that they don't have much energy even if they are violent, so you can definitely tell they are going to behave well
* Very nice flaring authority for a single skin
Dislike:
* Preaccelerated trim. If you release the brakes the wing flies accelerated. I thought it would be great to not have the extra burdens of an accelerator. But in fact, I didn't like it. If you enjoy taking photos, eat cereal bar or do stuff while flying you'll hate this feature
* Breaks are not that good:
- There is no point of pressure (you don't have a specific point where the brake pressure can concentrate and be transmitted to your body)
- Because of the D Brake system, if you completely release the brakes they will be much higher to reach than a normal paraglider. You need to fish them back
* Bad performance against wind + turbulence. Against the wind, if its a bit turbulent you shouldn't expect to be too far. Even if it's a fast wing, the bad performance will give you a very bad glide ration against turbulent wind
