Hello,
I fly a Ozone Octane FLX 22 and I had a RR Rolling 22 for two weeks.
I can say that :
- The rolling has much more rolling energy but it could be due to the handles which are quite bigger.
- I found the rolling a little less precise but always due to the handles.
- I had to brake more on the Rolling to avoid deflatening during loops.
- The sat entry must be more precise with the Rolling.
- I felle the Octane much more easy and homogeneous.
It's quite the same kind of wing but for a complete novice, the Octane should be better than the Rolling.
If you like the big handles and a high rate of rolling, the RR Rolling should be better.
Hey Greez, i haven't flown any neither rolling or octane flx, but i want to help from videos and pilots comments abount both.
Both wings are DHV 2, so spect the same DHV 2 surges (easy ones). Octane is a very forgiving and easy glider, it is perfect for helicopters! One of the easiest to do it.
About the Rolling, i have seen videos and the homololgation document, it has been created from the Nova Mentor (the high end dhv 1-2 from nova). Saw it helicoptering and it turns slow and easy.
From the videos i have seen from Raul and the others of the FLX online, i believe that the Rolling is a bit more diynamic in stuff such as sat manouvers.
I am sure spending in any of both is a sure bute since they were especialy created and homologated for start tu acro pilotos. Both wing came from the hands of the Rodriguez!
