I had a couple of flights with this wing at different locations and conditions. I have already owned a size 24 in another Niviuk wing, that was also too dynamic, I was hoping this one wasnt so. I was in the upper weight rage if not slightly over, it was easy to decide whether it was for me or not and no need for further testing

Same to you buddy, hope to catch you again

They really do Michael, its like good therapy I would recommend to anyone. There is no time to think about anything, you are truly in the moment, thank you for your comment

Yes nothing preps you better

Just a tad

I really like Humbleton hill, sometime you have to work for it and sometimes it just switches on, unfortunately this flight it was lite but still enjoyed and thats the main thing.. How are you getting on hope you are recovering well John.

No I dont sorry, dont know anything about the 2

@@Graham_lee thanks. Finally wanna buy this glider.

@@MichalCCX Its a really nice glider, many pilots here have bought them. I'm going to be trying the Ikuma 3P very soon.

I created this song using AI at udio

A very nice song!

I have the 26 and I'm all up about 98, I have quite a heavy harness and carry water and cameras. I had the 24 in the Hook 6 and felt too loaded so was reluctant to get the 24 again in the Ikuma. I've had a few flights now and getting familiar with being in mid range. I like it, I was unsure at first with how soft it felt but after a few flights it just feels right. I get some great height and excellent glide. I would like to be a little heavier and really interested in trying a 24 which I probably should have done first, but yes very happy. In some strong thermal today and felt fine

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I cannot wait for mine to arrive! Safe landings

@@iloverugby4ever Have fun and let us know how you get on

If you are 113kg all up which includes water, cameras, phones, there is also the carry bag. 113 all up (TOTAL WEIGHT IN FLIGHT MIN-MAX) this also includes the glider weight.5,1 kg will be the size 28 which is all up weight of 95-120 if you have not included weight of the glider it will be around 118kg which puts you in a better position on the 28 which is closer to the top of the range. Better loaded not overloaded

@@Graham_lee not inculudes the glider weight, my body 100-102kg, harness 5kg, spare parachute 2kg, other material 3-4kg

@@Graham_lee you sad "28 is better for me" İs it true?

@@yudiriders7878 The 28 is 95-120kg your weight is in that range. That is what I would be choosing

@@Graham_lee thanks🙏🙏

They really are, I have some fly bubble cover now, will be checking them out next video, exciting stuff lol

Never thought about O rings, I have just recieved a couple of pair of covers from Flybubble so will be checking them out next video haha. Yes Tinto is a great place I will be back very soon

@@Graham_lee Ah yeah - the flybubble thingies. Well, if you lose them, worth having some o-rings in your bag. I just have a bunch of them in my repair kit.

Im flying it here Jamie, its great I love it

Thank you

@@Graham_lee You're welcome friend 🙂

My Pleasure

I stumble upon is very old site and pupular

Hi thanks for the message. Its difficult for me to give exact figures but I have pulled some averages from the flights the videos belong to. Average speed has been around 28km/h and max speed attained 48.06km/h. I was often sat at 30kmh on glide, I used bar a couple of times but never full maybe half. I seen increases up to 4km/h. I don't think ridge soaring and thermalling is the best environment to gather performance data with the glider being given so much input. Id like to test on an xc flight I'm sure those figures will improve, hope this helps

@@Graham_lee super thanks!

Thanks G hope to catch you on the hill soon

Thanks, its cool seeing your shadow looks great from above, hope you are well dude.

@@Graham_leeon the mend

thats the techno in your blood

Hi Mark hope you are good bro. It really is mind blowing, a fantastic experience, full of nature, science, personal challenges and learning. Best thing Ive done, give it a go even with a tandem ride youll love it

Hello Martin thank you for you comment, I have now uploaded all the flights I had in algo on the Ikuma, let me know what you think of the last flight it was amazing for me and loved the wing

Nice shot at 15:20✓

even better here ruclips.net/video/msTKDiGfv70/видео.html @@stevegill1570

There is a roll for me at mid weight, the first time it happened I worried that I was too light. I tried to correct the roll with opposite brakes but it seemed to make it worse so I put my hands up. Within two rocks left to right the glider stabilised, the next time I rolled I just put my hands up and again all was good. I never worried about it again,. I think it would benefit being loaded to near top of the weight range. Being in the middle weight range any wing has the potential to be boaty. Im 98kilos all up on the 26m which has a weight range 85 -105 so I'm just passed mid point. Im going to try some ballast on my next flights and note the difference. It really is a different tech than the Hook, I told myself that so making no comparisons and just allowing myself to get familiar with the new feelings from a Low B to a High B. What weight are you?

@@Graham_lee thank you for your feedback. my total weigth with a 26m2 IKUMA 3 will be 102kg.

Hi Peter, The hook I was over the weight range and I loved how it was performing but going against specs it didn't sit with me. The Ikuma I'm mid weight range and I'm being honest its a concern. I've had a few wobbles but I conditioned myself to say its how I'm now in touch with the glider, it really is different. At first I explained as soft, that softness remains until you are getting thrown about, but its not a feeling you are being catapulted into your wing. Its a very weird transition from a B wing. Huge different style of inflation, everything is different. Its not a transition its a choice.

@@Graham_lee Thanks Graham , that helps cheers 👍

The location Is Algodonales in Cadiz Spain, this field is the Ponente landing area. Im now back in the UK so will mainly be around Northumberland for next few months

The location is also stated on the intro screen on each video

@@Graham_lee Thank you. I'm in Australia so I wasn't familiar with the area.

Greetings from the UK @@johnfoster7596 Are you doing any flying ?

Thanks

Hi hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes. Its a great wing

Some great landings in this area one called the horse field with lots of nature, beautiful place especially after the rains
