Swing Agera RS (SM) — A RAST C-Class Wing With an Outstanding Glide

The Agera RS suits days with wide thermals and strong wind, when the goal is distance. Bassil added that European conditions, with their larger-radius thermals, are far different from where he flies; where narrow cores are the norm, every turn means working the brake again. It makes more sense for a pilot already at home with a C wing's brakes and C risers than for one stepping up to C for the glide alone. If you often land in small fields, find out how it behaves when slowed before you commit.
