What was felt in difficult conditions, could only be understood by good pilots. The difference in overall performance in active air between the Rush 5 and the Alpina 3 is very small, and will be felt only in head wind long glides, by a little margin. In turbulence, i felt that the Rush 5 need less active piloting than the Rush 4, just because the Rush 5 ability to auto stabilize itself, with a non event efficient flying, that i think many pilots would be surprised by it’s serene ability to deliver top performance for even week end pilots.Īlso, i think higher rated pilots will find a very cool, super efficient tool, much easier to fly than the Alpina 3, which is easy for a C, but with all the performance package. It does cut through every thermal with ‘peace’, enters and climbs without delay in any core ! That’s ‘la creme de la creme ‘ when it comes to a balance thermal behavior for a high B. In strong cores, the Rush 5 doesn’t pitch back at all neither pitch forward aggressively. In weak thermals, i can confirm that the Rush 5 MS is indeed a floater.
The turn is a performance oriented one, very balanced between agility and efficient climb. I also think that the Rush 5 thermal ability is really impressive, putting this glider at the ‘very’ top of the high-B category, in weak and also in strong thermals. I mean that the Rush 5 has very good comfortable movements with great ability to cut through without minimum loss of altitude in moving air. It's like those magic gliders that can always deliver. But when conditions get more tricky, and in XC conditions when i was flying in real air, it seems that the Rush 5 gave me the most complete package for performance efficiency even by a tiny margin. I flew next to a Mentor 5, Alpina 3, and some good gliders in their respective categories, in still and also in moving air.ĭoing some glides in still air, there are no difference in glide between the Mentor 5, Chili 4, and the Rush 5. The agility in turns is very slightly less than the Rush4, but still, i can say that the Rush 5 is a fairly agile glider that can core any weird thermal, but with a very efficient turning radius. I personally like that better feel on the brakes. There is slightly more pressure on the brakes over the Rush 4. On the Rush 5, the trim speed is as fast as the Mentor 5 or the Chili 4. Some pilots commented that the Rush 4 needed to be loaded at top in order to bump less into thermals. I flew that glider sometimes in this past year and i still remember the light brake pressure, the good maneuvrability and the slow trim speed. The last tested Ozone high B was the Rush 4 MS size.

In stronger breeze, it launches beautifully without any surge forward which is a plus and comfortable launching behavior for a high B wing. It doesn’t have a hard point, but it’s slow to reach overhead. Take off in nil wind is slow on the Rush 5. At that weight i never felt that i needed to be heavy on it. My take off weight was from 90 to 93 all up with an X-rated 6 harness. Flew it in turbulent, sometimes weak, and sometimes strong and difficult. I flew the Rush 5 in MS size (75-95) for 3 consecutive days in good conditions. The cloth on the Rush 5 seems heavy duty, and the lines are similar to the Rush 4 ones with a bit more diameter on the Middle A lines. There’s a mild shark nose, barely visual.
