The approach to stall is good for a safe, fun glider. The brakes need to be held almost to the seat-board for many seconds. At stall point, the Matrix begins to shudder, trying to regain airspeed. It resists the full stall with spirit and a large amount of brake pressure, preferring to drop into a mild parachutal stall. Eventually it submits, dropping far back, then flopping lazily overhead.
Exit is simple, as the glider remains overhead in the stall.
B-line stall is difficult to pull in, but stable in descent, with hardly any surge on its delayed exit. An excellent recreational glider, with top marks for glide and feel in the air. It services the same market as the Swing Arcus, though it offers better feedback, agility, and glide angle. Anyone from the newly licensed to the weekend XC pilot will want to go straight back for another ride. It is competitive, secure and fun, and will leave even the most jaded skygods smiling.
