Description
The MulletX marks a major advancement in parakite technology, setting a new standard for performance and control. Building on the legacy of the Mullet, the MulletX is designed for a faster and more dynamic flight experience. Its innovative design facilitates deeper dives, enhanced kinetic energy conversion and a more extended flare. Making it the perfect choice for pilots who crave a responsive and high-energy glider.
One of the standout features of the MulletX is its ability to convert kinetic energy into altitude with exceptional precision and easiness. This allows for smooth and powerful altitude recovery after each maneuver, enabling pilots to effortlessly maintain control and adjust their course as needed.
Unlike the Mullet, which offers a choice between standard and pro risers, the MulletX features a single riser option. This configuration, combined with its specialized canopy, contributes to the MulletX’s distinctive handling and agility, giving it an edge over the Mullet in terms of speed and dive. The result is greater dive potential, increased speed, and better energy retention.
For those accustomed to the Mullet’s performance in lighter wind conditions while soaring cliff faces on the coast, it’s important to note that the MulletX performs better when scaled up by one or two sizes. This allows pilots to fully harness the MulletX’s potential, as the glider is faster and has a different airfoil that requires more wind to stay aloft. However, for mountain flying and speed flying, scaling up is not necessary.
In conclusion, while both the Mullet and the MulletX offer distinct flying experiences suited to different needs and styles, the MulletX stands out with its enhanced speed, dive capability, and energy conversion, making it ideal for pilots eager to push the limits of glider performance.
The Mullet, on the other hand, remains a versatile and reliable choice for efficient coastal soaring and controlled, three-dimensional flight. Regardless of choice, pilots can expect an exhilarating experience.
It’s also worth noting that if a more relaxed flight is desired, the MulletX is fully capable of providing that. While it offers high-speed dives and additional energy when needed, it can be as tame and accessible as the original Mullet, transforming into a turbo-charged racing machine only when the pilot desires it.
