Lots of snow in Agergour. Aglou ,Nid d'Aigle and Plage Blanche flyable. Legzira at times problematic because a German pilot drowned there recenty, so police might interfere. Weather relatively cold and humid this winter, its lush and green- unusual but the locals like it. Moneywise exchange booths open if there are arrivals,[…]

On arrival at Agadir airport they X-Ray all bags before you are allowed to leave, but I didn't have any problems. My radio was deep in my paraglider bag. Submitted my authorisation forms and documents but never got a response, although I'm told that some do. I've also been told that the ATMs[…]

People buy gliders based on what the marketring says, how prestigious the brand[…]

I very strongly did not like its launch/inflation behavior and also didn't like how it felt in the air. Having flown the Symphonia 1 for a few years and trying a couple iterations of the Ion (6 and 7), I am now on[…]

TL;DR: A very comfortable high-B wing that could be a real workhorse for the right pilot, but it's not really to my taste. My profile: I have about 45 hours total airtime, most of that on a PHI Symphonia[…]

And that is at the cost of increased aspect ratio from 5.43 to 5.50, nitinol wires along all of the chord, reduced line number at the wingtips and so many years of R&D between[…]
