EN-C comparison (Update)
EN-C comparison (Update)
Easiest to manage in the category . 1 being most friendly user. (Most comfortable to fly for the average "C" pilot) : After many flights, some changes occurred…Constant feedback…
1- OZONE Delta M = UP Summit XC2 M
2- ADVANCE Sigma 8 25
3- GRADIENT Aspen 4 26 = Cayenne 4
4- NIVIUK Artic 3 = AD Volt SM =BGD Tala M = Ozone Delta 2
5- OZONE Alpina M =U-Turn Passion SM = Nova Factor 2 S = Aircross U-Cross
6- MacPara Marvel 25 = UP Trango XC 2
All being close.
Handling in rough air: (The one that you can turn even in rough air)
1- Gradient Aspen 4 ! (Superb)
2- Nova Factor 2 = Artic 3 = Cayenne 4 S = Ozone Delta 2
3- U-Turn Passion SM= BGD Tala M
4- OZONE Alpina M = UP Trango XC 2 S/M
5- ADVANCE Sigma 8 25 & U-Cross
6- UP Summit XC2 M = Marvel 25 = Delta M =AD Volt SM
7- Artic 3 Race
Performance in calm air (no activity):
1- NIVIUK Artic 3 Race = Cayenne 4 S= BGD Tala
2- NIVIUK Artic 3 = U-Turn Passion S/M =UP Trango XC 2 S/M = AD Volt SM= Ozone Delta 2
Between (1) and (2) the difference is “negligible”
3- Nova factor 2 S =Marvel 25 = Aspen 4 26
4- Advance Sigma 8 25 & Ozone Alpina M & Ozone Delta M
5- U-Cross S
6- UP Summit XC2
Performance at "trim speed" in head wind glides and turbulent conditions:
1- NIVIUK Artic 3 Race = U-Turn Passion SM = UP Trango XC 2= Ozone Delta 2
2- Ozone Alpina M = Skywalk Cayenne 4 = NIVIUK Artic 3 = Aspen 4 =AD Volt SM = BGD Tala
3- Advance Sigma 8 25 ( It has a very neutral pitch that allows it to stay on its path)
4- Nova factor 2 S (moves a bit)
5- Ozone Delta M (calm and always steady) & U-Cross S ( like on steroids )
6- UP Summit XC2 (Very close to the DELTA and U-Cross )
Performance at "first bar" in headwind glides and sudden lifts :
1- UP Trango XC 2 S/M= Ozone Delta 2
2- NIVIUK Artic 3 Race = U-Turn Passion SM = BGD Tala
3 NIVIUK Artic 3 = Aspen 4 =Cayenne 4 S= AD Volt SM
4- Nova factor 2 S
5- Ozone Alpina M & Advance Sigma 8 25
6- Ozone Delta & UP Summit XC2 M
Climb rate in weak but “difficult” conditions < 0.5 m/s (not homogenous thermals ,low in the inversion) :
1- U-Turn Passion S/M = Ozone Delta 2 ML
2- UP Trango XC 2 S/M= Delta 2 SM
2- NIVIUK Artic 3=Marvel 25= Aspen 4 = Skywalk Cayenne 4 S = BGD Tala
3- Ozone Alpina M & Advance Sigma 8 25 & UP Summit XC2 M
4- Gin Tribe M =Artic 3 Race = AD Volt SM
5- Ozone Delta M & U-Cross S
6- Nova Factor 2 S
Climb rate in punchy thermal conditions :
1- UP Trango XC 2 S/M = Ozone Delta 2
2-U-Turn Passion S/M = Cayenne 4=Marvel 25= Artic 3 Race = BGD Tala M
3-Artic 3 normal = Aspen 4= AD Volt SM
Brake description :
- Ozone Delta 2 SM ,ML ( linear, short ,precise ,agile with moderate to light pressure)
- BGD Tala M (Long and linear, fairly precise in turbulent conditions, moderate to light pressure, forgiving)
- Nova factor 2 S (very direct and precise)
- NIVIUK Artic 3 (Linear, precise, agile)
- Skywalk Cayenne 4 S (Moderate pressure, Agile linear, forgiving, smooth!!)
- Gradient Aspen 4 26 (Agile,moderate,linear,forgiving,smooth)
- U-Cross S Direct and agile if the conditions are smooth, and a bit less in turbulent ,the glider must settle first)
- U-turn Passion SM ,light to moderate, linear ,agile.
- UP Trango Xc2 S/M ( medium pressure, precise, fairly agile, short)
- Marvel 25 (precise, moderate pressure, needs a bit of work in turbulent conditions)
- Ozone Alpina M (A bit longer than Factor 2 and a bit softer , more precise and shorter than the Delta M and much better turning behavior) 10-
- AD Volt SM ( Needs a bit time to enter the turn in moving conditions) - Niviuk Artic 3 Race
- Sigma 8 25 (very close in handling ,a bit long but still agile)
- UP Summit XC2 M (Long average agility to good)
- Ozone delta M (Soft ,long and average precision)
‘NEW’
(Most efficient C glider in overall XC flying ) IMHO
(1 being best) disregarding if demanding or not.
1- Ozone Delta 2 = Up Trango XC2 = U-turn Passion
2- BGD Tala M = Niviuk Artic 3, A3 Race, Skywalk Cayenne 4, Mac Para Marvel, Ozone Alpina M, AD Volt SM,
3- Advance Sigma 8, Aspen 4, U-Cross S, ,
Faster at second bar:
1-Passion=Cayenne 4= Artic 3 Race = Aspen 4,
2- Delta 2=Sigma 8
3-Trango XC2 = BGD Tala
Big ears efficiency:
Aspen 4 26 (very efficient in big ears) = Nova Factor 2 =Cayenne 4 S
- Ozone Delta 2 = BGD Tala (stable and efficient)
Artic 3 = Artic 3 Race = U-Turn Passion SM (stable moderate ears ) =UP Trango XC 2 S/M= AD Volt SM
Marvel 25 ( moderate use of big ears-moves a bit)
