- PRIMAX - NY DHV 1 VINGE FRA NOVA ! |
|
We're very proud of a premiere: |
|
|
| Even DHV 1 is the hardest certification class, our development team
was able to have the PRIMAX XXS, XS, S, M and L successfully tested by
the DHV test pilots. Even the XXS (19sqm) passed the DHV test flight
successfully without any problem! Based on the SYNTAX, the PRIMAX is even safer: even better damping around all axes, even more brake travel, even softer reactions in all manoeuvres. It's safety is unbelievable, which made it very easy to pass all certification test flights for all sizes in such a short time. The concept is very forgiving: For the XXS it was for example not necessary to change a single line length from the Computer calculated prototype! Only the brakes were adapted. So the optimal trim was already there: no loss in performance, comfort or handling. No compromises, no work for our test pilots. :-) To develop the PRIMAX was the easiest job we ever did: after we decided to make a DHV 1 wing out of the SYNTAX, the very first prototype already worked perfectly. So we had time to do some againg simulation: we washed a PRIMAX wing fo hours in a big US army washing machine to be sure that it will last long in even the hardest conditions (more details and pics later). As expected: the famous Gelvenor cloth was undestroyable! And the best of all: it's real funny to fly! Even having long brake travel, the wing reacts quite direct to brake inputs. Wingovers are easy, the performance and handling in thermals are great. Some more safety details: Like the SYNTAX, it doesn't spiral with more than 15m/sec without special input. All spirals are exiting very soon. The roll dumping is perfect. It's hard to fly a negative: it lasts a while until it begins to turn negative with full brake pulled. When you just release the brake a little, the wing begins turning positive again! The collapses are very soft, reopening fast but smooth. Very little turning, very little surging. |
