“The King has a calm, quiet temperament. It’s like the unflashy estate car with an absolute beast of an engine under its bonnet”, writes Hugh Miller, who’s been reviewing Triple Seven’s new EN-D over the past four months.
“It gives a nice, damped ride… and if you’ve ever flown for eight hours across rocky peaks and places that leave you gulping for air and needing three litres of water to rehydrate your very dry mouth afterwards, you’ll understand why a balanced, solid wing is so important,” he continues, having flown two 200 km XCs on the wing.
Hugh concludes, “The King is probably the best performing three-liner ever made – it’s certainly the fastest, according to our Flymaster TAS tests. It’s a refined performer, a measured character, and it’ll whisper in your ear rather than shout for attention. The King: more a sailplane than a stunt plane.”
