Aspen 3 gets it first UK airing!
Have just received a call from Richard Westgate who on the 22nd April took his newly arrived Aspen 3 out for a flight, where he managed to get away from Golden Ball (Thames Valley) and landed over 4 hours later just north of Milton Keynes for a straight line flight a little over 106km.
This is what he had to say about it
"Finally I had a chance to fly the Aspen 3 and what a great wing. It's lighter handling than the Aspen 2, is faster at trim and with better glide through the speed range."(Though full speed was not tested as his set up could only manage 3/4 bar). He reported also that the speed bar is light and very useable.
"The Aspen 3 does not have the 'flying on rails' feel of the XC2 but the passive stability made it a much more relaxing flight."
We have demos coming in sizes 26 28 and 30 book your test now .
