Ziad Bassil's Gear Reviews
If you are choosing between the standard Mentor 6 and the Light, climb, glide and speed are the same, so decide on brake feel and behaviour in turbulence. Among other high Bs, the Mentor 6 Light suits a pilot who wants an agile wing but finds one that rolls as much as the Maestro 19 in turbulence too demanding. If you want a calmer ride in rough air, the Eden 7 or Rush 5 fits better, at the cost of some brake feel and some of the fun of turning.
