Great Saturday morning out speedflying with Mike and Adrian while getting to know my new Gin Fluid 11. Wing is loaded at 1.8lb/ft2 or 8.3kg/m2. These are my 2nd, 3rd and 4th flights on her so far. The wing is proving to be great with the best flair of any speed wing I have flown to date. Its not for beginners and needs to be controlled but man is it fun!
Good times!

  • how did you find it in slow flight? bucky like the nano or solid? Looks fast as, and almost resembles a skydive canopy in the turns. Judging from the video.

  • Im very impressed by it. So much so I have no need for my Bobcat 13.5, which I will be selling on in the next week or so. The trims are on the front which I like, so with trims off the wing is trimmed slow, I dont think I will be foot launching it with trims on (fast flight, big dive). It has a great speed and glide range but some it retain a very good glide if you want/need it!

  • Coming in to land it feels way fast than the Nano but the flair is long and you soon bleed off speed but the wing still retains energy so the landing is not fast at all. Ive been quite gentle in the turns so far, I could get it to dive much much more if I wanted. Very happy. Will hopefully get a flight in Sunday!

  • Dan - Terrific you madman! What are the others on? You are a speed junky ATB Bill

  • Hi Bill, the other wing was a Bullet 14 flown by Mike. Loving the Fluid! The flair and landing are superb for such a small wing! I think the Bobcat 13.5 will be up for sale very soon as a result!

  • Dude thats so SiCk. MaXimum respeCt.

  • Again, a very nice video! Have you tried small hanggliders, yet (<14m²)? I got into hanggliding and currently fly a Moyes XT145, the fastest and most agile free flight glider I've ever flown, even quicker than most speedgliders incl. the skim12. Judging by your other vids you might like "Markus Schulz & Andy Moor - Daydream (Lemon & Einar K Remix)" - perhaps you have a use for that in one of your upcoming videos! regards Felix

  • >Nice!!!
