Dudek Snake 3 Review

Sharing some of my thoughts on my 20m Dudek Snake 3. This glider is efficient, fast, rock solid in turbulence and has a super fast roll rate even when flown at the bottom of the weight range. I'm flying the 20m 100-120kg weight range with an all up weight of 104KG which makes it a perfect match for my atom 80. I get a max speed of 40mph at this wing loading but if flown near the max loading then you can get 50mph on this glider.

That’s a lovely area man. Miss being there.

It's great! Most days are windy but right at sunset it calms down sometimes and even though it's windy it's smooth if winds are blowing from the lake

That doesn’t look like Korea

Sik! Any chance you can review the Nucleon 4? Your opinion matters.

[@MitchG]

I'd love to. Just need someone to send me one. Maybe I'll ask

How much does the engine and wing cost?

[@MitchG]

Used around 6-7k. New around 9-12k

[@krzysztofbartnik]

And i am thinking to switch from Warp 2 to Snake 4 for everyday flying

[@MitchG]

@krzysztofbartnik I have owned or flown snake 1.2, snakexx, snake 3, warp and warp 2. The snakes have always given me more confidence in rough air. The warps are slightly higher performance, covering more ground for the same amount of fuel. The only disadvantage to the snake is some people find them harder to launch because you must get airspeed before pulling any brake pressure. Letting trims out a little really helps

[@krzysztofbartnik]

@@MitchG Thx. So you think is better to try Snake 4? I have owned snake 1.2 a i love that wing. I have flown on Warp 2 almost 2 years and maybe it is time to change. I thing that warp 2 Is super stable even though I fly it in strongly thermal conditions, sometimes I feel like it lacks a bit of a sporty character. However, I wouldn't want to give up cross-country flying either.

[@MitchG]

@@krzysztofbartnik snake 4 will be more sporty than warp 2 for sure! I say try it!

[@DavidRaney]

Thanks for the review, I was hoping to test fly the new snake at bad apples, but it never worked out. Going to sell my Warp 2 17m for this one since my all up weight has increased lately. BTW, was good to meet you at Bad Apples.

[@MitchG]

Great to meet you as well David. My 20m snake 3 is for sale if you are interested

[@DavidRaney]

Would be very interested but I may have to go with the 22. My all up weight is 127kg and after launching that 17m for a while now I’m looking for easier launches and landings with great performance. The color of yours is exactly what I was looking for.

[@DavidRaney]

Plus, I’m holding out for the Snake 4
