    Nice little video. I had to fly for 25 hrs before I could construct a sentence as to how good the v4 is. 🤣
    So many people were and even still are suspicious of a 2 liner C for what ever reason BUT this really is a true C with all the benefits of a 2 liner and its performance.
    One day I'm going to land at your parents and they will wonder how you've grown a beard 🤣

    Great video. It'll be a while before my next purchase but I'll definitely keep the Volt in mind when I'm ready. Enjoying my Epsilon 9 in the meantime.

      Thank you Bob for your comment and that's great to hear you're enjoying the Epsilon 9. I'm told it's a fantastic wing. 👍

    nice, can you please compare it to the sigma 10 a bit more, agility, easy of use, is it more demanding to fly, speed.

      Hi there yes compared to the sigma 10, the sigma 10 is definitely more agile in roll. I did find the volt a little bit "plankie". But I can live with that because the performance is so much better

      But I've only flown it once so I will have to flight more to give you more feedback but I think in terms of pilot demands, I don't think it's any more demanding than the Sigma. Felt just like a normal C wing to inflate, but definitely faster and better Glide

    hello, a question about the change from advance to aire design volt4, what an impression

    • @johnrudge777
      @johnrudge777  2 роки тому +1

      To be honest it's hard to say because I haven't blown it once because of the bad weather but I would say it's definitely more plankie than the sigma 10 but I would say the performance is definitely worth it. Because you can tell immediately that he has so much more performance and Efficiency

      Hi there no it was the sigma 10 and I haven't actually shortened the brakes yet, I'm going to just wait and see how I get on
