Triple Seven Queen 2 SM — A C-Class XC Package That Only Comes Together Loaded at the Top

What this wing does well is clear. It narrows its track without a big bank angle so it doesn't lose the small cores, it climbs fast in the strong ones, and it converts that height into a glide that gives nothing away to the Delta 3. The remark that it can dig into a core more tightly than the Trango X-Race sums up that character exactly. There's a condition attached, though: you have to load it. The optimum band is 96–100kg, the best point 98–99kg — and even loaded that way, at 4km/h over trim the Sigma 10 and the Delta 3 are still marginally ahead. A pilot who ranks glide above everything else should look elsewhere. The Queen 2 SM wins by turning tight, climbing fast, and crossing to the next thermal on a glide that costs nothing. It's a wing that adds up over a full competition day.
