Thanks for this video and your review. I used it when deciding on my new High B and ended up going with the Chili 5. Really enjoying the wing so far, I agree with you that the leading edge is soft. Apparently Skywalk designed it to be softer on the tips to give the pilot warning, but I find the center usually starts deforming first. With this being said, the wing gives me a lot of information through the risers so it's easy to feel it coming and react. Can thermal with little break input and the glide is great. Speed bar gives a good range of speed. I fly it in South Africa in strong conditions and hell I feel safe on it. Definitely at the top with regards to performance without upgrading to a higher class. Beautiful machine! Well done Skywalk :)
thank you for the last comment of the video, it is good to know and it is a really important thing, and thank you for your test in videos always very informative
I‘m actually thinking to switch to the Chilli 5 now ….. I fly a UP Dena (A+) now for two years in the alps but now I would like to make a bigger step to a high B which is still safe glider….. lot of people recommended me the Chili 5 as a performance glider with enough safety space….. would you recommend it too? Greetings from the Alps….
Hello Ziad. I fly High b wing UP summiit XC 4, I have 80 hours on it, and before that I flew Tequila 5- 50 hours. Do I have to switch to C class or can I go to En-D (Mantra 7) right away? En-C doesn't get bored quickly after the XC 4 Summit, Thanks in advance.
HI Suzana, It depends on your flying hours and skills. If you fly more than 100 hour/ year in strong conditions, without any problems, then a 3 liner D could be a good upgrade. Cheers,
very good video, just need more accelerator. You almost don't use the Accelerator, when the Blue Sail comes you don't accelerate, sheave against sheave never. That's why they take so much distance, friend! encourage yourself to fully accelerate your wing to maximum speed!
Thanks, But I'm not comparing the Chili 5 to the blue wing which is a 2 liner D glider. I'm only following the Rush 6 B class yellow wing. When using the full bar, the B gliders aren't competitve to the higher class also. But thanks for the encouragements ;-)
Great video. I’m considering getting this wing. Can I ask how you recommend loading it ? I would sit at around 95kg flying weight which I believe is right In the middle of the S weight range 85-105.
I’m guessing your opinion of the top 3 high B gliders would be the base 2, chili 5, and rush 6. How would you rate those 3 in terms of overall performance? thanks!
Hi, Thank you for your message. I have tried without music...Sometimes it's ok...sometimes with the long glides .. it will be a bit boring...Some pilots emailed about putting a kind of music ...

I thankyou on behalf of all people who follow your glider reviews. Nice work!
Thank you !
VERY GOOD VIDEO, THANK YOU SO MUCH! here waiting for my chili 5! yellow and green!

Hi,
The Cili 5 is an intermediate glider with B certification. It's a good B.
The lower B category flies really well also.
Tequila 6..Ion 7...
Cheers
@@ziadbassil thx :-) 🙏

Thanks.i think the XS at 95 would be perfect!
The S would be best at 102.
Happy flights
Did you get the wing, if yes which size?
I am currently flying xxs at 76
Круто 👍,уже хочу !
Você comprou zero não foi? O que veio junto além da vela?
Thx 🤝
Hi, thanks a lot for your support and opinion. Why don't rewiew SW Arak, I looking forward to buy it but I don't see your opinion :-( ....
Thank you...Sorry...I didn't had the chance to fly one...
@@ziadbassil When or never?
@@arturk6586 I don't think I can get one...
What high B do you choose, For maxium safety ? Base2, mentor, r6, iota2, chilli?
Hi,
They all got B rating....relating to safety.
See the B chart for comfort...etc..
Cheers
I’m guessing your opinion of the top 3 high B gliders would be the base 2, chili 5, and rush 6. How would you rate those 3 in terms of overall performance? thanks!
Hi, I think gliding performance is real conditions, the R6 is very good.
@@ziadbassil Do you think the R6 is better than the chili 5 in cross flying conditions
What do you think of Vizion da U-turn relative to Base 2, Chili 5 and R6?
@@dudureis26 Probably a bit.
@@dudureis26 Probably a bit , yes.
Where is this place?
Jounieh bay, Lebanon
No music, please. I would much rather hear the wind and how the glider responds. Thanks

music is uhh... not good.
Too little information in a too long video
Test on www.dustoftheuniverse.com
i think so
