The Leopard's strengths are clear. Its excellent brake authority makes an aspect-ratio-7.12 two-liner manageable at your fingertips, and a homogeneous, taut feel carries all the way through the glide. But it would be a mistake to read that accessibility as "easy." The very smallest thermals demand active input to keep the leading edge alive, in pure glide it falls slightly behind the Zeno S, and above all it presumes the D-class ability to read strong air. So this isn't a wing that made high-aspect easy — it's one that gives high-aspect performance back to a pilot who knows how to fly, in a controllable form.
