It has top performance but it does not seem to be a nervous wing nor does it show any particular tendency to collapse.<\/p>\n<p>This &#8220;accesible&#8221; EN C wing is good for thermal flight and also fun for free style as it is dynamic in turns, with high internal pressure and good characteristics for slow flight -even close to the stall point, for example, for difficult approaches.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, we found it to be a balanced and versatile paraglider, suitable and competitive for XC, competition or recreational short flights.<\/p>\n<p>The plan and profiles of the Nexus reminded me of a Core 3, Swing\u2019s EN D\/competition model, but &#8220;tamed&#8221;. Like the Core, it has no shark nose but it is just as powerful in its class.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of performance, it gives a superior sense of glide, a ratio of around 11, at the top of its class. Maximum speed is more modest at about 54 Km\/h, although it is fully usable. There is a special handle on the &#8220;C&#8221; riser for flying the glider at full speedbar, which can affect either the centre or the wing tips.<\/p>\n<p>*See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.10152728418857653.1073741922.173906047652&amp;type=1&amp;l=938b724346\" target=\"_blank\">photo album\u00a0on Ojovolador&#8217;s\u00a0Facebook page here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>+Info: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swing.de\" target=\"_blank\">www.swing.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overcast skies and strong winds, it was not ideal for a cross country flight but it turned out perfect for a good test and control session with the Swing Nexus, the new EN C glider from the German manufacturer.
