    Two line EN-C has arrived, I've asked Theo De Blic, what he thinks of this new trend and what should pilots consider before committing in buying one of these winds.

    Hi, thanks for the video!
    I moved to the C 2-liner at the end of last year, and after 120 hours of flight, I have to say that it would be hard to go back to a 3-liner. I also tried a 2.5-liner during this period, and the feeling is incomparable.
    My wing is very easy (volt4), and in my opinion, the pilot demand is negligible in comparison to a regular C or even a B+. However, the performance gain is amazing, as it allows you to stay on the bar a lot, feeling secure with easy B-handling.
    During this period, I had one fully accelerated frontal (my fault), only 2-3 cravats (the wing has a stable line), and a few collapses. Nothing to say, it's easy.

    I also did not get all the maneuvers for a 2-liner? And what about the distinction between a Mid C-2 Liner e.g. Airdesign Volt 4, Zoom XC2, Gin Camino 2 compared to a High C-2 liner e.g. Ozone Photon, Phi Scala Light 2 Niviuk Artik R,,...

    @FlyingKarlis Sorry that I didn't understand: which manover exactly is necessary in case of flying a 2-liner? Fullstall? And if yes, why?

    • @AdrianCiuplea

      Stall & spin. To be able to clear cravattes

    The next question is: are 3 liner C gliders dead? what manufacturer will dare to put resources into developing new 3 liner in C category? So soon pilots will be forced to go from high B to a 2 liner it looks like.

    Hi, it's weird. The Skywalk Mint is built with stabilo. Anyway, your contents are great...

      Some C 2 liner do have stabi line which is a great news ! I was mainly with the Photon in mind and After checking recently many brands did make the effort of putting a stabilo line on their C 2 liner :)

      Bonanza 3 also has stabilo lines

    It would seem to me mathematically that a two liner would be far less prone to distortion from line changes and stretching.

      How do you mean?

      @@FlyingKarlis let's consider this miracle in two parts the cloth and the lines. If you have most of the curve being selected by the cloth and very few points of connection like only to then if one of them stretches a little bit the whole curve changes a little and that is less of an aerodynamic disaster then something with more lines and one in the middle that is overstretched with a bulge and then pulled back into conformity. If you looked at this from the side just a cross-section of the single place where those lines connect, if the front line is a little bit loose on one side the curve is essentially the same. If the line is a little bit loose on a backside or maybe even stretched on both sides the curve of the wing remains the same because it's enforced by the rigidity generated by the air pressure coming in the mouth. You would have basically the same Wing aerodynamic lie with a weird twist to it and you could steer all of that out with a use of the brakes. I have no calculations related to how it would collapse with this twist already. I considered a crash a guy had who consistently flue on a paramotor 100 pounds overweight and when they did the crash analysis he had one line that was stretched 12 mm. In my own personal mathematical analysis if you have only two points you keep the same shape and you don't have a distortion of the wing shape if you have three points and you have some stretch you can get a distortion that changes the profile. Does that make sense?
