Sharp Wind

[Wing-span]

Anybody got any experience with the Valenta Sharp Wind. How do you rate this plane as a budget entry or competative machine in the right hands?

There was an excellent review of the Sharp wind written by Brian Sharp in QEFI early this year.
Any problems getting a copy of it send me a pm and I'll dig through my back issues

Your post is in the thermal duration forum so I assume you want a thermal duration ship.
Unless you are really trying to stretch your budget, why pay $849.00 for a Sharp Wind when you can buy an Experience Pro X tail for $1029, or a Vision for $1099 or a Shadow X tail for $1099 at Soaring USA? ( maybe less if you buy one of them on sale) All three have more time, and favorable press, on the contest circuit than the Sharp Wind.

Thanks Hoot. Already got an Xperience Pro V.

Just trying to find the best 'Bang for Buck' plane out there at the moment.
