What surprised me the most on the Buzz Z5 was it’s ability to search or to sniff a thermal ! So pulling 30 cm can steer the glider on almost all thermals…pulling more like 50-60 cm doesn’t really make the Buzz Z5 spin or else.It just respond with a clam nature without being dynamic !īeyond 45 cm the pressure on the brakes becomes moderate to slightly heavy. I was impressed by the way that every small pull on the brakes can make it turn on my commands, despite it's forgiving long brake travel !
I was happy test flying it, for it’s refined brake feeling and thinking that only the Rush 4 or the Delta 2 were a pleasure to fly won’t be fair for the Buzz Z5… It seems that any high-end pilot will be more than satisfied test flying the Buzz Z5 as it delivers that performance touch in the brakes…especially for a low B ! In both configuration the Buzz Z5 has a precise, direct, brake control. I flew the Buzz Z5 from 88 all to 93 for the SM (75-95) size. Launching the Buzz Z5 is quite simple for that category with no hang back, just stop the glider in strong wind to keep it from slightly overshooting. It features a mild shark nose, 3.5 line configuration and a very moderate to low aspect ratio. The Buzz Z5 is the new Ozone glider for the low B segment pilots.
