Prenosim sa PG Foruma ako netko planira ubost novu pilu....
Ja budem krajem godine




Hi,
Here are some comparisons of some EN-D gliders.
Please take into consideration the sizes and loadings. Other sizes may differ a lot.

Launching:
1- Omega 8 25@94 = Poison 3 S @ 94 =Mantra 4 ML @ 100 (Very easy even in no wind)
2- GTO M & GTO Small
3- Venus 2 M& S
4- Peak 2


A- Climb with a head wind (>15 km/h)
1- Mantra 4 ML @ 103 (Big difference)
2-The GTO M @ 103,
3- PEAK 2 24 @ 60 % of the load range
4- Omega 8 25 =POISON 3 S @ 95 = VENUS 3 M @ 104
5-. Venus 2 M @ 103


B- Climb without head wind
1-Mantra 4 ML @ 100 (Small difference)
2- GTO M @103
2- PEAK 2 24 & POISON 3 S
3-Venus 2 M =Omega 8 25
4- Venus 3 M

C- Climb in weak thermals (<0.3m/s)
1-Mantra 4 ML @ 98 (lightly loaded)
2-GTO M = Peak 2 24 = Venus 3 M
3- POISON 3 S (close difference)
4-Mantra 4 ML @ 103 (loaded) !
4- Venus 2 M @ 103
5-Omega 8 25 @ 94




Glide at trim:
1- Mantra 4 ML @ 100
2- GTO M (visual difference especially in head wind)
3- Peak 2 (very close to GTO M)
4- Poison 3 S @ 94 =Omega 8 25 @ 94
5- Venus 3 M @ 103


Glide at first bar:
1-Mantra 4 ML @100
2- GTO M @103
3-Peak 2 24 @102
4-Poison 3 S @ 94=Omega 8 25 @ 94 (very close)
5-Venus 3 M @ 103


Handling in still air:
1-Omega 8 25 (A delight!)
2-Poison 3 S (A bit slow but linear)
3-Peak 2 24 (crispy and linear)
4-Mantra 4 ML @ 100 (Turns with a little delay)
5- GTO M @ 103 (Turns with a little more delay)
They could be very close with a big difference between the O8 and the GTO M.

Handling and maneuverability in average conditions "with thermals":

1- Omega 8 25 @ 94 =Mantra 4 ML@ 100
2-Mantra R-10.3 S @ 98
3-EVO-X 24/ Peak 2 24/Poison 3
4-GTO M


Now the most important is the “handling in rough air”, and I mean is that some gliders when encountering multiple cores and punchy turbulent thermals, will react to their own, because their inside pressure is more stronger than the controls and the brake inputs the pilot are inducing. The pilot below will be a passenger for a while till the glider settles in. The more time it will take, the worse sensations you will passively feel. And that’s not good.

Some in those same conditions will be more reactive to the brake inputs, the pilot underneath is inducing and could place them wherever he wants despite the rough conditions. And that’s good efficient handling.
It is always much better being the pilot underneath a wing rather being a passenger even though for a short period.

Handling in rough air:
1-Omega 8 25 @ 94
2-Poison 3 S @ 94
3-Peak 2 24 @ 98 =Mantra 4 ML @100 =Venus 3 M
4-GTO M @ 103
5-GTO S @ 94


Comfort: (movements under the glider in turbulent conditions)

1- Mantra 4 ML@101 = Poison 3 9.5/10 (Unbelievable for an EN-D !! )
2- Peak 2-24 9/10 (very dampened, very close)
3- GTO M & Omega 8 25 @ 94 8.8/10
4- Venus 2 M 8.5 /10
5- Venus 2 Small 8/10
6- GTO Small 4/10

Easiness in flight:

1-Poison 3= Mantra 4 ML
2- Peak 2 24
3-GTO M
4-Omega 8 25
5-EVO-X 24
6-Mantra R-10.3

Stable ears:

1-Omega 8 25 = Skywalk Poison 3 =Mantra 4 ML (Stable)
2- EVO-X 24 (Stable )
3-GTO M (a little unstable)
4-Peak 2 24 (Not stable)
5- Mantra R-10.3 (Not stable)


Landing and maneuver approaches to top land.

1-Poison 3=Mantra 4 ML
2-Omega 8 25 & Venus 2 M & S
3-Peak 2
4- GTO M
5- GTO S

Those comparisons were made on long transitions and many flights. The loadings and sizes of some gliders could give other results. These are some of the finest EN-D gliders of the moment, and those results are very close. A good pilot will surely fill the gap if any, on a glider, and I am convinced that “each one” will make record XC’s or win competitions easily. Some are very fast like the Venus3 some has excellent glide like the mantra 4.
There is no complete and perfect glider in everything, but each one will surely satisfy different pilots demands.

Cackao sam dosta po raznoraznim forumima o ovim END gliderima...

Kontam nesto da je najbolji onaj na kome ces non stop biti na 80-100% speeda, bez obzira koji je proizvodjac
Jer tu su kao neke razlike od 0.2 u glide-u, 1km/h u brzini itd......
