Skywalk X-Alps 6 (95): An Approachable Lightweight Two-Liner D

The X-Alps 6's strengths are clear. It has few sudden movements, and from launch through acceleration it never puts the pilot on edge. For a C-class pilot setting foot in the two-liner world for the first time, a wing this manageable is rare. Still, "approachable" does not mean "go ahead and rush." The pilot who reads this wing's behaviour and banks the flights — rather than climbing the grades quickly — is the one who ultimately flies farther. The X-Alps 6 is a glider that lowers the threshold into the D class; it is not a glider that fills in the skill you're still missing.
