I had been flying the Advance Epsilon (8 & 9) series for years when I decided to step up a bit to the higher B range. Fortunately, I was able to demo the wing first as I absolutely loved my Epsilon 9 and was hesitant to change, but I did want to try a lighter wing with more performance. I have not been disappointed. Even for a lightweight wing, I find it easy to kite, launch and land in more windy conditions. In light winds it is pure delight! It is quite stable in the air and was a very comfortable transition from the Epsilon. I recently had a partial collapse in rowdy thermal conditions and it barely changed course and instantly righted itself before I even had to react. It folds up very well using a concertina bag and have been able to pack it in my hike & fly Easiness 3 harness without problems. I am also using the Progress 3 harness (all from Advance) and it is a great combination. The weight reduction is quite noticeable when hiking. I have not flown it with a pod harness (maybe some day). I love Advance products and this has been no exception.
