Pass the PL Charger 12m Review

:shocked2: I got the Charger today and it looks pretty nice.
Thanks Rip

I know it is a cheesy poll but I have never posted one and wanted to try it out.

It was brand new and appeared to have never been assembled. It came together well. I looked at the manual just to make sure I had done it right. I was amazed how simple it was. Launch was a little different. I had a difficult time getting it into the air. It wasn't really very winding, about 8-12mph max. I was able to preinflate it ok but it took a lot of fluffing. Once I got it into the air it fully inflated pretty quick.

Thanks to the video by Carltb on how to set up an arc. I had watched it and it really helped.

One thing I noticed right away is how quick it turns. It turns on a dime, way faster than my Neo 1 11m. It did produce some power in winds about 10mph enough to get some little jumps, but I couldn't really get rolling on grass with my KGB. It seemed to turn too fast for what I am used to. I even had the strap set to turn slower.

Very nice safety system I think. I tested it to see how it worked and liked it well. I did test it against my Neo 11 and it produces a little less power than my Neo. That wasn't really a supprise to me. I imagine that with the various adjustments that can be made with the Charger 12m that the top end would be higher than the Neo though. Once I got used to the quick turning I think I would like it better. It is just the redirects were quicker than I expected and the power strokes were shorter because it turned faster than I expected.

I was disappointed in the auto zenith. I think it wasn't windy enough for it to work because it never did work. I hope it is windy enough for one more day of flying before I need to send it off to the next lucky soul.
