Jake’s Take: AirDesign Volt 5 and Hero 2

Jake Holland is a UK filmmaker and pilot living in the Chamonix Valley. A regular contributor to Cross Country Magazine he is known for his adventure flying in places like Pakistan and, most recently, Tanzania.

In this video he takes the new brand new AirDesign Volt 5 (two-line EN-C) and Hero 2 (two-line EN-D) out into the valley for some manoeuvres. Jake said: “I thought an SIV style test comparing the two could be useful for people to see. I appreciate that not everything is tested, such as collapses under speed bar or asymmetric collapses – however, I hope you find it useful in selecting your next two-liner wing.”

Jake is not an AirDesign team pilot or paid influencer. He said: “I have not been paid to make this video and all thoughts are my own. AirDesign have had no input into making this other than lending me the wings. I am not an AirDesign team pilot. I have done video work for the company in the past, but this is my own test and opinions.”
