![]() ![]() He's to busy teaching 5, 10, 15 new students at one time, he's unable to keep sharp those skills he's teaching. Probably due more to being un-current, not the glider's fault. Oh, and Greg whacked his Freedom that day, too. He says Falcons are stiff in handling?! Should we ask if HE has flown one? Or when the last time he flew any hang glider? 'Cause I've been back living in the Ellenville area for, what, 4 years now. Falcon is lighter, sets up and breaks down quicker, costs less, slows down better (which makes soaring easier, by the way). Wow.Īs for Greg and his name calling and smack talking- he actually refutes nothing I said. I haven't been putting together as many videos or grabbing as many photos as of late, but dangit, armchair pilot ?! Me? That hurts me feelings, seriously dude. Regardless- I may be many things, but as someone that knows me well, you know I'm no armchair pilot. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, and you think I'd change that statement if I flew one?! I added some bold this time around, so you don't miss the part where I say THE NORTHWING FREEDOM IS A FINE GLIDER. But not so slick that I'd pay more, to work harder and fly less I get that people like them, and I agree they look slick. Can't speak for pitch stability because it's not certified. It's less yaw-damped, and less roll-stable than the Falcon. And to gain that slightly better glide (assuming it does what they say it does), the owners have to pay more money, put more battens in and out every time they fly it, put curved tips in and out, and deal with a heavier glider. And if it does, it certainly aint a big difference. ![]() It might go a little better than a Falcon at higher speeds, but no one's been able to PROVE that. It takes all of the compromises we accept in a higher performing (better gliding) glider, and incorporates them into a single-surface glider that will always be significantly handicapped in glide performance. Not that it isn't a fine glider- I just think the premise is *STUPID*. What are the chances folks? LOLĪnd Tom, if you want to quote me, include the context and do not simply extract less than 10 words from a paragraph and add your own rhetorical question that would be meaningless if you had included the following words as well.ĭisclaimer here is that I hate the Freedom. due to inadvertent adverse yaw.Īnd look- Greg Black of Mountain wings, Tom's instructor, former employer, and buddy, is the very next comment. Tom Galvin, former Mountain Wings instructor, whom whacked a freedom in sledride conditions during a landing-video-analysis clinic. Have you flown one yet, or are you just doing the arm chair thing?
