Какво казва гуру-то в тестовете на крила Зиад Басил при теста на малкото братче на крилото за което той писа, че е любимото му в момента /UP Trango X-Race /, при сравнението на UP Summit XC4 и Gin Carrera plus в полет:
Не, че не очаквах да бъде толкова добро, но не бях готов да видя и почувствам такова подобрение!
За изненада и на двамата пилоти, XC4 се представи наистина добре! Summit XC4 имаше около 1.5 km/h по-висока трим скорост и качеството на планиране на XC4 беше малко по-добро....
Now i have tried to make some glide comparison with a Carrera plus SM (80-95) loaded at the max(95) , and i was 95 on the Summit XC4 SM ( 75-100). I was really curious to see how it will perform.
To both our surprises the XC4 came out really nice ! It is not that i wasn’t expecting it to be that good…but i wasn’t prepared to see and feel that improvement !
At first with the mentioned loads, the Summit XC4 has around 1.5 km/h more trim speed. And the glide was slightly better for the XC4...The glides were made in some difficult headwind conditions, and the Summit XC 4 surfed the air quite impressively.
That does conclude that the XC4 with its B rating has now reached the top performers for the best glide/ efficiency ratio.The speed bar has a moderate pressure. The controls on the C risers have a moderate pressure, a bit less than the X-Race ones, and they are more usable in limiting the pitch of the glider in gliding through turbulent stuff when applying the bar.
