Triton 2 S
Finally and after a loooog wait the TRITON 2 S has arrived …
As usual the quality of construction of NOVA wings is beyond a doubt a class of its own. Excellent workmanship and robust feel …
This test concern ONLY the S size ! It will not reflect any other sizes as the M and L size could be slightly different in some ways…
My first flight with the Triton 2 S at 98 all up was made in turbulent, punchy conditions… enabling me to open my senses, understand, and feel the glider .
Flying my usual harness the X-rated 6 with some ballast to reach 98 all up, i launched the Triton 2 S. The launching is easy for that glider and immediate.
First turn in a small bullet thermal , the Triton 2 S has a moderate to pronounced roll movement .The pitch behavior is average to dynamic especially in those sharp edges where the Triton 2 S would like to cut and surge ahead in the strong thermal. Catching it quickly with the brakes is no problem for a good pilot.
In turbulent and strong conditions the Triton 2 S is indeed a lively glider.
It moves in the air with sharp surges and quick responses to the airmass and the pilot could feel it’s energy, but luckily the brake fan is optimized to dominate this overall energy with an active pilot underneath.
