Skin 2 P - Sir Edmund - Tensing - UFO
Recently I tested a couple of single skin gliders and I want to share my experience. I am not a professional test pilot and only had a few flights on each wing. But anyway, since a lot people asked me, I decided to do this comparison based on my impressions and experience. For that I have used a star rating from * to * * * * *
Big thanks to Flugschule Salzburg for providing all these gliders.

Conclusion:
Which single skin is the best? It depends on your needs. In my oppinion ..
* best "allround single skin" is Niviuk Skin 2 P
* best "light single skin for easy take off spots" is Skyman Sir Edmund
* best "light single skin for alpine use" is AirDesign UFO
the tensing is something between the first two
