Pošto sam probao jučer malo Queena evo par rečenica kakav je. Par fotki kad mi box pošalje...

Comment about Queen
In Saturday I made flight with the new Queen from 777 and I must say the glider is a real racing machine! Test flight of 45 minutes I made in Kossen in Austria, short but ok to try all the things I was interested in.

First something about the quality
The quality looks really great. The first thing that you notice are spacey, grey, thin Kevlar lines which are really just a few in total 6 + brake line per side. Other thing is the raisers and high quality Harken pulleys. Material of the sail is standard Porcher but the glider is really light. Shark nose on it looks great and it is quite eye catchy.

Handling and take off
As I has fewer lines on the first pull you think that it will not inflate properly but once you almost have it on the top it becomes hard and fully inflated. Handling in the air I can compare with high EN-D gliders, precise and short brake travel. Glider responds to all you input and turns nice and flat, even in smaller circles.
Speed bar is medium hard so not the softest but also not hardest. It has longer travel like on the Rook so you will need to adjust it good if you want to pull it fully. On the bar glider feels really stable and you can feel that whole glider is 100% hard. I tried 80% bar on bubbly air without any brake input and glider flew straight without any problems.

Collapsing
I must say I was nicely surprised with side collapses. First I started with 25% collapses and than 50% and in each collapse glider did not turn to the collapsed side but on the OPOSITE!!! Wow!!! I did not touch any brake to counter steer. The glider does it by itself and when you make input on collapsed side to „counter steer counter steering“ wing inflates instantly.
Front collapse is a bit more aggressive than side collapses if you get big one on the bar. I haven’t touch anything after making really big one and it opened in 2 sec. Maybe for me was a bit more aggressive as before Queen I was doing frontals on EN-A glider.
Big ears are quite stable and big (as it has only two A) so you are pulling 50% of the glider. With 80% of the bar and big ears you are going down 5m/s in quite straight stable flight. For opening you'll have to release bar and make one or two pulls on the brake.
Top speed I did not try but the guys say 60km/h. I did not compare it to any other glider on the glide so I can’t say anything about the performance. Other pilots that tried comparing it to the other new EN-C glider said that the Queen outperformed all of them.

Conclusion
Queen is definitely top performance EN-C glider and would be e great glider for people that want the performance of low EN-D with safety of EN-C. It is definitely excellent glider for fast racing in strong conditions and in the good hands it can do better than some EN-D gliders.
