    I have a gin explorer 2 but would really love a side by side comparison with the avid. I probably would have gotten the avid if it had been available when I made my purchase.

    Even though its a personal and isolated example, the comparison between two gliders is very useful and good to hear your take on the pros and cons of each👍👍

    Been flying my Avid for a few weeks and love it. Coming from a Gin Yeti 4. Yeah, the Avid is more talkative, but that means you know what's going on.

    Good morning, which is the best in the evaluation? : Avid x Mentor 7 x Maestro 2

  • @ocb2112
    @ocb2112 Před rokem +1

    how do you compare the avid to the explorer 1 in terms of nervousness? is the explorer 1 doing it even more in turbulent air or is it more or less on the same level?

  • @asksteevs
    @asksteevs Před rokem +2

    Very interested to see how you guys feel this compares to the Explorer2. I'm 95% sure one of these two is my next wing. I'm in the US Rocky Mountains, and they eat wings, so the Avid is appealing for the potential durability but the E2 is lighter. The 2 lb difference shouldn't make or break it but 2 lb is 2 lb, and EVERYTHING here is a hike+fly, sometimes 3-4,000' gain. If the Avid had sheathed lines that would be a boon for me I think, but since it doesn't it's just all the more difficult discerning between the two!

    • @FreeFlightGuy
      @FreeFlightGuy Před rokem +2

      The usual differences between standard and lightweight (assuming equal wing loading) are:
      Lightweight inflates easier
      Standard weight feels more solid through turbulence whereas lightweight feels more twitchy
      - the flip side of that could be standard weight wings are more muted (relaxed) and lightweight communicates feedback better
      Lightweight reinflates easier, standard may take an extra brake pump or two
      If you're hiking a lot, just go lightweight and take extra care on launch.

    • @asksteevs
      @asksteevs Před rokem +1

      @@FreeFlightGuy Yup the easier launching is real for sure too. Less time the wing spends on the ground the less wear and tear, right? I fly a Calypso now so just that fact alone should maybe give the Explorer2 the nod...

  • @bardwithwings2950
    @bardwithwings2950 Před rokem +1

    Why not just be honest and call it a C instead of starting to talk about the "higher end of the high Bs" That sounds so strange to me, that we have started now to accept more and more sub-classes in B.
    Is the A-B-C-D class system still informative or do we actually need something new here?

    • @darrynrogers204
      @darrynrogers204 Před rokem +2

      The B class keeps expanding because manufacturers are managing to get more performance from the designs while still maintaining passive safety. They all want the best performing B cos that’s the most popular class. It’s a good thing.

    • @bardwithwings2950
      @bardwithwings2950 Před rokem +1

      @@darrynrogers204 ​ @Darryn Rogers I get that. ...to a degree.
      Sure, B-class is the most popular in terms of passive savety and there is a lot you can do with a B glider. Also its awesome to see how good gliders these days can actually get, while still earning a 'B'. On the other hand though the 'high', 'mid' and 'low' labels tend to not specify performance but rather active piloting demand. And with that I guess that the old A-B-C-D system seems to be falling apart a bit. Remember the Carerra? I have a few friends on Mantras who wouldn't touch that wing with a stick, because of how demanding it is and can say from my own experience, that a Sigma 8 is actually less demanding to fly actively than my own Explorer 1.
      All that to say: When it isn't passive savety but rather active piloting demand that makes pilots decide which wing to buy and when that seems to blow up the B class into 100 subclasses... isn't that the point where we should look for a different kind of category system?

    • @turkeyphant
      @turkeyphant Před rokem +6

      Because it's not a C. Sub-classes in B are useful but if you don't like them just read the test reports.

      Somehow there is always a smartass with an overinflated ego that thinks he knows better than wing manufacturers and test pilots with countless hours of airtime. 🤷🏼‍♂🤷🏼‍♂🤷🏼‍♂
