Hi Ziad, you have a chart with some rankings of B wings and how they are to fly in rough air. from 1-10 10 being the most difficult, how would you rate this wing for rough air and your idea of collapse recovery.

I got a do...Hi Ziad and thanks for your great work!<br />I got a doubt so maybe you can give me your advice.. I am going to change glider choosing between Rook 2 and Ikuma, but some opinion of fellow pilots around me says that rook2 is much more demanding in term of skills needed to fly it than Ikuma and also in term of confort, and I f it's the right way to say it, of "security". But reading your rank in Full EN B comparison charts they seem pretty equal in terms told above, with a slightly better performance for Rook 2. Can you tell me your personal opinion about it? Are they so different? <br />Many thanx in advance, Marcobigbayoakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211542704170475366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-39829105069470065112016-07-06T20:32:11.116+03:002016-07-06T20:32:11.116+03:00Hi Ben,

I don't want to put more ballast to reach 96,97 which is the optimum weight for the R2.Ziad Bassilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160776372320390250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-46000171887378262262015-11-29T09:34:34.540+02:002015-11-29T09:34:34.540+02:00Hi Ziad,

But not, you sold it. If I don't make any mistake, you have still the Iota with you. I would like to know why you did the choice to keep the Iota and not the Rook 2.<br />Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709290019559387192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-34516922425739366452015-11-29T09:31:45.629+02:002015-11-29T09:31:45.629+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709290019559387192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8348590068263371056.post-21653291616244923362015-06-12T08:15:03.430+03:002015-06-12T08:15:03.430+03:0097 is very good for the SM.
