[@thereligionofrationality8257]

A performance wing that is docile in your hands. For some reason you remind me of my first jump instructor (Army), who said, when asked how much time one has to decide to deploy one's reserve, "The rest of your life."

[@danpiek5810]

I fly with the Artik 6 (my first EN C glider) since one year. I promised myself never fly with a 2 liners because I'm a young pilot but not a young man. This wing can make me change my mind. Thank's for your feedback.

[@hewger]

Great review Greg 🤘

Thanks for the review Greg

[@barrywebber100]

Rrrrrrr Jim lad!
Great review.
Thanks.

[@maseehullahkhan7240]

Can you review the Ozone 2 liner Photon. And compare the Bonanza 3, Artik R and Photon.

[@crickhowellparagliding7440]

Great question about IP6 comparison!

[@jonassvedberg2414]

nice review

[@courtneydawe2237]

Looks like a nice wing!

[@osmaneldem1440]

İyi varsin greg dayı ❤

[@haukeplambeck]

Hey Greg, thanks for testing. Just a comment on your feedback about the turn levelling out. You are holding a lot of outside brake while trying to turn. You probably didn't even notice it while filming. You must have had a tight schedule testing all the new wings. I'd recommend to fly the Artik R again and let the outside brake untouched while turning. It may make all the difference 😉

[@FlyWithGreg]

it's an optical illusion based on the camera position and wide angle. Have a look again and watch the split screen view of the wing. You can see almost zero brake on the outside, I have just taken the brake down to the contact point. And I test all wings with identical technique, so I can compare the tendency across wings.

[@JERFALCON]

That wings name is Great!

Hi @FlyWithGreg! I do love your videos! May I ask you one question? In this video I can see two "extra" straps munted on your Weightless harness. Can you explain it? Is this configuration better? Thanks in advance! Albert.

[@aleksandrleonov2862]

Hello Greg! Great review! What size Artik R did you fly and what load?

[@shafqatpti6506]

How much glider in Pakistan

[@Itsallgoodtogo]

Which C-2 liner will be next? AD, SWING?

[@SethClimb]

Did you get a try of the Swing Libra RS yet, to compare?

[@miloradpopovicflyer]

Hi Greg, great review!
Did you maybe plan to review Swing Libra RS? It seems very interesting as it's an EN-c with aspect ratio of 6.9, like Zeno! With RAST of course...

[@philipv3098]

Haha that’s my paragliding home base - didn’t recognize it with the distortion of the camera.
Gives a wrong impression of the landscape.

[@harryhalfmoon]

For the algorithm!

[@Parakitedude]

Mint or Artik R?

[@nigelholder5514]

Sounds like a pirate. Arrrrrrh.

[@airgaborpara3824]

aaaaRrrrrrrrr😂
