Ive only recently moved from the axis Hps 1050 to Art v2 999. Which i finding slightly more challenging but more enjoyable. When the winds a bit lighter ive been going back to the Hps 1050. for a bit more user friendly. Ive noticed a few good 2nd hand Art V2 1099. at reasonable prices. Should I give up on using the hps 1050 in lighter winds and buy a Art v2 1099.
How does the hps 1050 vs Art v2 1099 compare for bottom end light wind ease of use.
Thanks for any input.
I have used the art v2 1099 quite a bit now. It's a great wing, nice and glidy great in the bumps. The low end is not as good as you'd expect from a wing this size. There would be a big difference in low end between the hps 1050 and the art v2 1099. With that said the v2 1099 is more efficient and glidy so it will probably keep you up and flying longer. For winging I found the artv2 1099 to have plenty of low end I could be happy with it as my biggest wing. For parawing where you can't generate as much power to get going I have found the v2 1099 to be a bit trickier to get going in light winds.
Yes! As you say, the 1099 is more enjoyable. I swapped 1050 for 1099v2 and no regrets.The 1050 has slightly better bottom end, but in my opinion the difference is so small it's not worth holding on to for. In contrast to the bottom end, the top end of the 1099 is a lot better
