Dear fellow foilers,

How would you rank the foils in the Atlas and the Nomad range in terms of glidetime (not distance) and turnability? Below are the foils ranked by increasing wing span. I was thinking this would also give the rank in terms of increasing glide and decreasing turnability, but I might be wrong. For example, should the Atlas foils be shifted one row down, so that, the A960 is ranked as having longer glidetime but less turnability compared to the N1160?

A680 (850cm, 10.6ar, 8.5-34mph)
N830 (860cm, 8.9ar, 8.0-33mph)
A790 (920cm, 10.8ar, 8.0-33mph)
N980 (950cm, 9.2ar, 7.0-30mph)
A960 (1020cm, 10.9ar, 7.0-30mph)
N1160 (1050cm, 9.5ar, 6.5 28mph)
A1130 (1110cm, 10.9ar, 6.5-28mph)
