Mac Para Eden 7   24   (70-90)     I asked MacPara to purchase that glider like usual. Then I got an email that a demo glider was already sent, and I have to return it afterward!   After lots of delays at our customs office…like usual, the Eden 7 was released. Mac Para wanted the glider back for the Kossen exhibition, but I only flew it once and felt something different and I emailed Macpara that I must purchase that glider as I need more time on it, there was something very interesting! but they replied that they are sorry… and they prefer to get the glider back!   I kept the glider for another 3 flying days and…(to be continued…**)   The test:   The Eden 7 is MacPara 2019 high B glider.

U-Turn Vision S (80-97)  The Vision is U-Turn high B with an aspect ratio of 6 and relatively light construction. The S size weights around 4.6 kg.  Taking off is super easy without any hard point. The Vision rises smoothly and stays above the pilots head. I flew the Vision S at 94 all up. The brake travel has moderate travel, and pressure with very good agility. The Vision can be steered very tightly in small cores. Despite the 6 aspect ratio, the Vision is super far from the earlier Carrera from Gin for the extra comfort and smooth behavior in the air for the Vision.  The moments in turbulence are very comfortable and I really asked myself many times if really the Vision has a 6 aspect ratio!  The overall movements in turbulent air are quite tame and showed me a super balanced glider. Some gliders with 5.5 aspect ratio that I have earlier tested, needed more pilot input in strong air. The Vision has surprised me by its mellow reactions.   The pitch stabil...
