Yeah, i got around to try it shortly in Araxá, Brazil. Just abit of strong thermic wind groundhandling and a short thermic/soaring flight before the breifing. Had to topland and give it back to my good friend Phillipe Rigall… He also took the pics of me flying it.

What i thought? well the handling is very exact and the glider is dynamic and talkative. Braketravel is not to long and the break pressure is not to heavy. Just what i like. I only had 5-10 minutes on it so no serious test but a little snack… It flyes realy well. I could just get in there and go, easy to understand.

In my eyes this is a visualy appeling glider. Clean design. The material choosen are not ultralight but light enough i recon. The leading edge has rigidfoils insted of mylar walls. Riser are racy with pitchtrimmers. I did not play around with them at all.

I cant wait for a longer flight with the Trango X-light. Gliding far and away will be a pleasure. Hopefully i might be trying it later in november…;-)

I realized that there’s some guys i have to say BIG THANK’S to, Durval who picked me and Kingy up in Uberlandia and drove us to the hotel in Araxá. Come to think of it, he even paid our pizzas… Durval is King!!!

On our last day in Brazil Bruno Neumann drove us back to Uberlandia airport. Bruno was the owner of the Sol Torck i flew during XC Open, Bruno also took us to a truckers restaurang along the road. Fantastic bbq. Brazilian lunch is topnotch. Bruno rock’s!

Geraldo, guided me to a couple of skateparks in Araxá. He took me to a park in the outskirts of Araxá. Very few tourists go there. I was the only gringo on the market… Good fun! Thank’s Geraldo.
