My 6th flight with the Vril One 12. Flown here at about 85kg total.
Some thoughts:
- I love it, really fun and easy
- it tends to shoot a bit when starting. I probably just need to adjust a bit the technique. Before I was mostly flying a Bantam 1 12, the Bantam doesn’t overshoot
- few single skins have sheathed lines. The Vril does, and it really helps with getting ready
- I had planned to land 10m higher, where the field is flatter. But I ended up too low. So I got to try a real uphill landing. Ok I crash-landed, but impact was small, I could absorb almost all the energy in the flare.
- zero spontaneous roll. Turning with weight-shift only is slow, you have to use breaks (or rears I guess, but I haven’t tried)
- packing volume is, as expected, small. I carried the wing in a 20 liter compression bag with tons of room to spare.
