    Nice one Mark; I always felt that the Gin Falcon compares well with other wings in it's class. For sure it's a near direct replacement for the MacPara Colorado and arguably a similar wing to the Hadron 3 (although the H3 owners seem to disagree). Certainly you know that a tolerance can be built up to motion induced discomfort by repeated exposure and gradual increases in G-force and other accelerations? If you find any part of it enjoyable I encourage you to continue to explore the adjacent areas of the flight envelope.
