Ziad Bassil's Gear Reviews

The Savage's strength is unmistakable. Even with a modest 11 km/h over trim, it stands shoulder to shoulder with the very best EN-C wings on glide and in weak-lift climb. And for a 6.5 aspect ratio, it behaves gently. That gentleness, though, is only gentle within the world of high-performance light C wings. The brakes are middling rather than sharp, and the advantage comes not from agile turning but from a glide efficiency that reads and holds a weak core. This is not a wing for a pilot looking for an easy C. Flown for glide by a pilot who already knows how to handle a high-aspect performance wing, the Savage gives back exactly that much distance.
