Does anyone know the link to the Nova Phantom test flight I think the pilot was flying in Africa ?

I think to match a high end EN C with great handling and could be flown by almost novice pilot is impressive. The thing is the price but when a pilot does not have the confidence to fly higher C gliders or just don't quite have skills then it is good but £5500 hmm I guess it down to choices

Its seems to me that Nova have spotted a big gap in the market. There are lots of pilots who want to fly gliders with more performance but sadly don't want to put the required work in before there ready to fly one.

Here we have the 'Nova Phantom' (twice the price) but what the heck, ego has always been an expensive item.. not just in monetary terms either :roll:

So, other than fly in higher winds,,,,whoop di doo, what can be done on an ENC or Nova Phantom that can't be done on an ENB or ENC for that matter?

You could argue that the pilot that goes on the ENC is just making things easier for themselves because they haven't got the skill to complete the same flight on an ENA!

Ooooh controversial!

Says the pilot that flies an ENC that with modern testing would be an END. :D
See you out there!!!!!
