Mike Kremer reports:
"Preparing for take-off is super simple! The lines are easy to differentiate and lay out, also thanks to their different colours.
The canopy is very stabile. The sail shape looks nice, I have noticed - watching others fly this glider - that it levels off beautifully towards the back.
Even though conditions were sometimes quite rough, it was easy for me to concentrate on the other pilots and what's around me. It is important to have time to look down and to check where the thermals are.
What I really loved was that in a thermal, I could turn the glider the way I wanted it to, not the way the glider wanted to! Flat, steep, tight, it didn't matter, I could do whatever I considered necessary.
The RISE 2 reacts great on brake-shift with tight and especially very flat turns.
The speed system is extremely easy-going and doesn't need much pressure. Hardly any height loss and great glide when pushing the accelerator and in accelerated flight.
When thermalling in accelerated flight, the glider feels extremely safe and the performance is convincing!
The RISE 2 has a vast and very good speed range. The glider reacts well and effective on the use of the C-Balls.
The RISE 2 glides bloody well!
Landing is extremely smooth. The glider flares superbly."
