Ziad Bassil's Gear Reviews

The strengths are unmistakable: shorter brake travel than the Cayenne, a firmer sense of canopy cohesion, and a glide that competes in the same league as the top-end C wings. Above all, the efficiency of passing through rough air without bouncing off it is the decisive factor in how tired you are at the end of a long flight. That efficiency comes with a condition: enough loading, and the skill to handle it. The efficiency comes alive near the top of the range, and the firm brake pressure of the first 10cm points in the same direction as the active input a 6.4 aspect ratio two-liner demands. The Mint is not a wing that coddles beginners — it answers, with speed and agility, the pilot who reads the canopy well enough to have graduated from the Cayenne.
