"Flew and kept up with a Sigma 9. Last flight was a valley landing with north wind, which creates turbulence. The Nyos was rock solid and very comfortable while the Sigma pilot looked and reported unstable flying."Now if my size would just get certified, I wanna fly one too....Demo coming soon, its been difficult to keep up with demand, so I have yet to keep one in stock.
