The Vivo 3 has just started its test series at Ojovolador.com. Daniel Crespo Valdéz, test pilot and instructor since 1993, took it to Tenerife for its first flights in size L, in a wide range of thermal conditions.
His verdict after this first contact: the Vivo 3 is a true, perfectly balanced classic EN B. He highlights its build quality, its reassuring, school-like inflation and its smooth landings. In the air, it floats in weak lift and stays solid when conditions get stronger. Above all, its turn impressed him. The wing settles into the thermal and holds its line with very few corrections, as if it had “trajectory memory”.
That’s exactly what we wanted for the Vivo 3: an accessible, enjoyable wing for pilots progressing from an EN A or an entry-level B, built on the experience of our two-liners, the Volt and the Hero XPed.
More episodes are on the way: ridge soaring, speed bar, collapse behaviour, and then a full video review.
