what do you think about the Elan light 24...Hi Ziad,<br />what do you think about the Elan light 24 @ 83Kg?<br />I'm doin XC up to 150Km and like to stay on the safe and comfortable side.<br />Now I'm quite happy on a Mentor 2XS @ max weight but it's getting old.<br />MarkusMarkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481949488516623911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-72628816974386608242015-03-14T17:48:28.830+02:002015-03-14T17:48:28.830+02:00HI Tomas, I think the 24 is still fine at 90 92 al...HI Tomas, I think the 24 is still fine at 90 92 all up. The climb in weak conditions is still ok.Ziad Bassilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160776372320390250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-3188745040663403682015-03-03T11:35:41.101+02:002015-03-03T11:35:41.101+02:00Hi Ziad,
thanks for great review. I am still wonde...Hi Ziad,<br />thanks for great review. I am still wondering, what size of this wing (elan light) would be better for my take of weight 87-92kg all up (depending on harness and loading with other stuff). I am flying mainly in flatlands, but several times a year in Alps as well. Size 26 with its very wide range of 78 - 100kg has pretty big surface in comparison with other gliders with similar take of weight. I think elan 24 could be safer in strong conditions but on the other hand, elan 26 could stay airborne in weak conditions for longer, while being litle nervous in mountains, correct? Thanks a lot.
