I just returned from an 8 day trip to Tenerife with 20 other pilots from Sweden.
I was a little nervous due to the fact that I was the greenest pilot and was trying
out my new XIX for the first time.
The general response when I first took it out of the pack was - "where did you get
that ..." & "it isn't an Advance". The perceptions changed on the first day
when I started at 600 meters and quickly climbed to 1100 meters (blowing away most
of the DVH1-2 and some of the 2s)for stayed up for 1,5 hrs.
Anyway, my trial by fire went great and I am more than happy with my XIX.
Cheers Brent
