Watched this twice! First: listening intently to your detailed review, Second: muted the voiceover and jammed some great flying tunes! Thanks for taking us along Trevor! I hope everything is going well for you and the crew at Backcountry. Cheers!
Sweet! I was able to fly my ViperXC back-to-back with a Viper6 of the same size. I noticed the kiting and efficiency changes, but they totally felt the same in the air with regard to roll rate and playfulness.
It's actually designed for classic competitions and endurance comps not just xc. And there's nothing European about competitive XC. See all the massive flights from all over the world including Australia and Latin America.
Now that you have flown so many new wings and different wings it wld be awesome literally awesome if you would revisit the dominator wings and give is a no nonsense fair review. The pros and cons. .... You will get 50 thousand views
Im not entirely convinced that the ultra lightweight fabric is an ideal scenario for me personally. And I don't think you're being intentionally misleading but to call the Viper XC a "heavy /heavier weight fabric" is only even close to factual in comparing it to the Viper 6 because it's already lighter weight fabric than every other wing in it's class. The Warp 2 is between 40g/m² and 34g/m² fabric. The Falcon 2 is using 40-32 fabric. The Apco F1 is using 42-27 and yet the XC is using 30g/m² and 20g/m² fabric. It's lightweight fabric for sure! And then you look at the 6 and it's using 20g/m² and 10g/m²!!!!! The fabric being that lightweight concerns me on stresses at structural connection points, it concerns me on longevity of the fabric and it can not be as strong as a fabric 2-4x it's density. Not saying it's unsafe to fly but it has a lower margin of safety that I'm not sure I'm comfortable with. Now that being said I'm not an engineer and I don't work in textiles or fabric development and production but I'm expressing my opinions and thoughts on this and giving the reason I personally won't buy one. No knock on you or anyone that chooses to fly them. However that is an opinion coming from a pilot flying at Sea Level so....

Fun watch, love all the flight footage!
Great job man... bravoo
Love this wing, nice review. I am curious about longevity, but I fly in the midwest which is pretty easy on the fabric.

Can you do a comparison against the Falcon 2, how they differ, class comparison, speed, RPM, etc. ?
Great place to fly!!

This would be amazing!!
@Trevor Steele - what about different rizers?

What size did you get your vipersix
@@kikochas I had a 20m
I just sold it
And I’m ordering an 18m in the coming weeks
@@TrevorSteele1 you just sold your new vipersix? Are you getting a size smaller?
@@kikochas yeah Chucky Wright just snagged it from me. I’ve also dropped down in weight by about 15 pounds
