Deilig video og et fantastisk flysted! Hvorfor kjøre videre til Bondalseidet når man kan skru termikk rett foran Liadalsnipa!!! (Har nettopp bestilt meg en Lhotse 2, derfor havnet jeg her : ) Har gått opp på Liadalsnipa for mange år siden, men hvor kjører og parkerer man og går opp på Liahornet?
tell me some of your experience with the lhotse. Which size, how loaded, abilty to climb at high load even in weak thermals, trim speed, max speed and so on, thanx
Lhotse size L 85-120kg loaded to 100kg all up. Easy and safe glider with good performance to be in mid B-class( vimeo.com/250807086 ). + Easy to start in all conditions +nice light handling, turn easy in terminals, almost impossible to spin the glider. + rock solid in turbulence, just a few small asymmetric frontal in lee side terminals in 100 hours airtime. -Standard raiser is light so need to be watchfuI with line check. Brake lines have limit lifetimes without pully so I exchanged to Kibo riser. - now old fashion, go for Lhotse2.
@@KyrreSvany ThanXXX Kyrre :-) I have testet Arak, fantastic wing, wnat to test Ion6 and new lhotse 2. all good things are 3, isn`t it ? Then decide what I take. wish ya a lot of fantastic flights with your UP wing 2020:-)
@@bennoventura Yes your right, velcro is not good for unsheathed lines and the brake line twist easily trough the C-lines with the light risers. Brake line has limit lifetime without pulley so i prefer Kibo risers.

I see you have installed other risers on this Lhotse. Which are they? The risers from the Kibo?
Yes, I installed Kibo risers with pulley after about 60 hours airtime.
@@KyrreSvany I can see why. The Lhotse risers are a bit very light and the velcro for the brakes is definitely not a good solution!
