Dust Of The Universe

Triple Seven Knight 2 size MS I still remember quite well the Knight 1 when I test flew it. Triple Seven is delivering now its second version. In this test, I will describe the differences found in both versions in every aspect and will insert some B gliders for comparisons. The Knight 2 is a mid-B glider as stated by Triple Seven as they consider that their Pawn EN-A glider could fit as a first glider after training.  The construction on the Knight looks very neat. The same construction is seen on Rook 3. Triple Seven used the same line width, lengths, and configuration as on the Rook3. If both gliders are on the ground, there will be very few differences to see between the two.  The leading edge openings are also practically the same. Very narrow small openings.  The risers have a C to the B steering system.

Hi, I see many pilots are interested in the C category future designs, so I did ask the designers, and manufacturers their opinion: Here it is: Ziad: What is your opinion about the new C certification? Any investments in a 2 liner C? Will it be there two versions of C gliders one 3 liners and one 2 liners? Is it achievable today with 6 ar, and still being homogeneous in strong air? Best regards, Ziad BGD ( Bruce Goldsmith) Hi Ziad, At BGD our next C glider will be the Lynx2 and we are working on this right now. It is a 2.5 liner, 3 in the middle and 2 in the tip. We are very excited about this glider and impressed with the performance. For EN C two-liners it is our philosophy to wait and see how the market develops. Bruce PHI (Hannes Papesh) Hi Ziad! As you know, DHV and SHV were against the introduction of folding lines for C wings. The argument of SHV was IMHO very good. Folding lines are making it much harder to train collapses in SIVs. So this is without a question a higher demand,...
