Ho...Hi Ziad<br />Thanks for your test and all your work!<br />How would you compare the handling and the glide of the Ion 5 to the Phantom or the Mentor 5? And maybe you can also say a word in comparison to the PHI Symphonia... ;-)<br />Cheers & always happy landing!<br />MosiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747103739283520370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-64203435310226109262018-04-05T19:39:12.900+03:002018-04-05T19:39:12.900+03:00Thanks Ziad for another very nice and useful revie...Thanks Ziad for another very nice and useful review!<br /><br />Can you say something about the speed on bar of the Ion 5? Is it similar to the Ion 4? The designer Philipp Medicus says the top speed is slightly higher than on the Ion 4, but Flybubble say in their review that full bar only adds about 8 km/h over trim, which would be a bit disappointing.Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492535783965516638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-78619793422749132642018-04-05T18:15:53.434+03:002018-04-05T18:15:53.434+03:00Hi,
