ADVANCE Epsilon 8 — Low-B Done Properly: The Wing as Polite Butler

The Epsilon 8's strength is not a peak score in any one column but the absence of flaws. Launch is quiet, the brakes answer the same way at 5 cm or 30 cm, and the information doesn't distort in rough cores. The glide sits near the top of the low-B field. That is the basis for Bassil's summary that this wing is everything a low-B pilot could want. At the same time, it promises no performance beyond its category. Rather than making you faster, it frees you to concentrate on turbulence and on XC decisions. For anyone looking to start their first cross-country safely, there are few better places to begin.
