As you know, the handling is absolutely superb on any of these- with or without full water.Īt 20:18 10 August 2017, Jonathan St. I doubt I would be able to tell the difference, but possibly some can.
Some have reported slightly better handling. Like you did on yours, mine has much bigger dump valves and plumbing installed which gives very good dump times.Īnother straight 27- 27B difference is the taller factory winglets on the B model, giving slightly more effective span. The wet wings work very well and hold all the water they were designed for. Large pilots or gliders heavy from repairs/excess equipment would not have that difficulty. max mass, but some pilots of average size/mass in the straight 27 with water bags had reported having difficulty getting enough water in the wings to reach that. As far as I know, both models were certified to 500kg = 1102.31 lbs. Hank, I would consider you to be much more knowledgable about these models than I am. > Does your '27 have a max gross of more than 1102 lb? Till next trip we meet-all the best Xirli, my friend.On Thursday, Augat 1:10:27 PM UTC-6, wrote: Hope others would have the pleasure and fun with Xirli too. I would not be able to fly as many different sites within such a short span of time. Would highly recommend Xirli to are in similar situation like me. He could translate for me whenever I encountered communication issues. There is no language barrier between us using English. He is fun to be with for chats and dining companion. He brought me to landing areas and highlighted potential bomb out sites. He was able to pinpoint the problem areas for each site as well as the best spots for initial climb outs. Xirli was instrumental on all my safe flights through thorough site briefings. He is the walking Google search for anything related to flights at this region. weather, availability and provision of local pilots as buddies loads of other insider information. He provided exactly the service that I needed.įrom logistics, to site searches and selections based on latest information on. Just completed a week’s paragliding flying with the support from Xirli.Ĭame alone to Barcelona, Spain. Thanks, Xirli for your striving towards excellence and providing a unique and customized experience. That trip from 2nd to 4th of July was packed with cool flights and great memories and it felt like a week. This is not the typical paragliding trip, Xirli was thoughtful to propose elements which are on my interests that can be added to the program while going or returning from flights such as visiting a weekly market, checking organic seeds or visiting an 11th old century chapel.Īs a repeated client of Xirli, what I see and feel is his attention to details, focus on what the client wants and provide the optimal solution according to the budget. Furthermore, meals options were wide and had a great variety from local bakeries and family run restaurants. Usually, the days had a noon and evening flights, they were filled by a cool chill out time at the pool in the afternoon, that was a great addition to cool off from the heat and enjoy another great activity. In addition, it was great to meet with his pilots friends at the sites and fly along them, that made it fun to connect with locals and exchange.
It was highly efficient and we used to be at the take off at the right timing for the breeze or thermals. With his high skills in Meteo and flying, we tailored our site each day for the best conditions. At a short notice within the high season, Xirli organised an amazing trip which included solo flying in 4 sites ( Berga, Ager, Organya & Bellmunt ).
