I have been flying a low EN A wing for about 3 years now and wanted to upgrade to a better wing. I found a second hand Nova Phantom online and decided that it I would buy it.
I found that it handled very well on the ground and came up in almost nil wind. Once up, it hung in the air and stayed up without pulling on the raisers.
This video is one I took of me flying at High and Over. I found a thermal low down and climbed out to 400m which is the highest I've been in England.
I found the Phantom was amazing in thermals and had very low sink as I flew into the valley. I am used to a glider sinking a lot quicker than this and I was very pleased to see how much of my height was preserved even on speed bar.
The thermals were a little rough and I felt sick while thermalling up. I was told at the end of the video that I would get used to the brakes and how to use them to even out the climb. If anyone wants to explain this in the comments please do.
Otherwise.... enjoy listening to me scream!
