Supair SAVAGE EN-C

Image
  SUPAIR Savage EN-C The Savage is Supair EN-C light glider, with an aspect ratio of 6.5. Thin risers, and very well reduced and unsheathed lines all over. It's a beautiful looking glider with that mix of white with red and blue stripes!  The take-off at 94 is super smooth. Very easy to inflate, and the glider does not overshoot.  The brake has a moderate to short travel and also with moderate agility. The brake pressure is on the moderate side.  The Savage seems more agile than the Cayenne 6 similarly loaded and less agile than the Taska, or Cure 2 M for example for the same load.  But I felt that I could carve easily every small thermal with some application.   In rough air with 94 all up, I felt that the Savage is comfortable to fly glider regarding the Aspect ratio! It filters unnecessary movements, and the internal structure seems coherent at least in the moderate mid-day conditions that I flew in.  It seems to give the same comfortable feel ...

DaVinci Tango EN-C

  DaVinci Tango   let’s dance… DaVinci is a South Korean manufacturer with a complete set of gliders from the A to CCC category. The Tango is their new EN-C glider and my first DaVinci glider! After receiving emails from pilots worldwide, I contacted DaVinci and I was able to purchase the Tango in S size (70-95).   https://flydavinci.com/products/paragliders/tango/   To tell you the truth, I was a bit concerned at first about the new company, and I had silly thoughts in my rusty mind about what to expect… Now the glider is in front of me and it is time to fly.   The construction looks really good. The Tango has 3 lines A, B, C, and a little fork on the C’s. It is not a hybrid like the Fusion for example. I thought also that it could be similar to the Flow Fusion. But it isn’t in any way. It is a 3 liner. Let’s proceed… The glider is a mixture of Dominico on the upper surface leading edge,   which holds a shark nose, and Porcher 32 g behind, with also Porche...

Beirut explosion

Beirut explosion… Thank you from the heart for all your lovely emails, beautiful message, and warm support! My family and I are doing well. We are staying in the north part of Lebanon, 35 km from the explosion and even, the buildings trembled feeling like an earthquake. Unfortunately, many Lebanese citizens and some close friends that were 15 km away, suffered deeply that atrocity. Living in Lebanon has never been that easy. After 50 years of wars and corruption, the peop le are suffering today more than ever! The Lebanese people are well known for their strength in rebuilding again and again. And we will never surrender! We always wanted to have a state without corruption, with fair Justice, and a peaceful normal life for once! …At least for our children. Thank you very much for all your kind messages.  Stay safe and may happiness surround your families.
