BEAT 2

The BEAT GOES ON! Here is the long awaited BEAT 2 and BEAT 2 light! You will experience the clearly better, more forgiving take off behaviour. You may immediately feel the better handling, higher agility, even more “defined” feedback. The playful ease with which you dance your way to the top of the thermalling pulk…

SCALA 2 light

The first SCALA 2 light have arrived! Sizes 18 and 19 have successfully passed the certification tests with an EN C classification. It’s not just the certification (SCALA 1 was EN D) that is different. We have improved and optimized many parameters: -wing airfoil and suspensions are different. -sail tension (ballooning) is new. -the entire…

TENOR 2 light

Here comes the TENOR 2 light! Same as the normal version, the light version lost weight compared to it’s already ultralight predecessor (even being slightly larger). The TENOR 2 light has around 200g less weight (depending on size). Again the whole wing is made of Skytex 27 double coated. The TENOR light was one of…

TENOR 2

The TENOR 2 is here! The TENOR 2 is a little larger than the first generation. In contrast to the first one, there are more differences between the sisters SYMPHONIA 2 and TENOR 2. The TENOR 2 has different line layout with less top lines (more diagonals), resulting in a little bit better performance. Even…

VIOLA 2

The VIOLA 2 is here! Despite the miniribs in the nose, the VIOLA 2 is even lighter than the first version! -and much more balanced! Better launch, better roll damping, better handling: but what am I telling you! – try it yourself!

MAESTRO 2

Be prepared to a new era in High B Class! With 76 cells, additonal miniribs and some new technologies, the MAESTRO 2 shows an unprecedented shape and surface. We can present you the greatest leap in performance that we have ever achieved from one generation to the next.

SONATA 2

We are learning more and more. We are learning with every prototype wing we build and analyse. We are learning about performance wings and safety on the bottom of the range. More and more we are able to combine performance and safety: here is the SONATA 2!

SYMPHONIA 2

Around 4.5 years ago we introduced a funny striped A class wing that cost as much as a High B glider. We then also communicated that this wing offers high B performance! -many competitors laughed at us! -all of them have lost their laughter by now… 🙂 Not only have we created a new class…

Further report:
I (Hannes) have been on Lago dIdro to measure sink speed of our upcoming rescue POP: size 26.
This is done according to the EN norm with a 30m line and a swimming container.

It showed very good inflation and super stable, nice flight with very low sink speed. So it can be loaded up to 128kg to be still below the 5.5m/sek frame (asked by certification).

We were testing the SEMILIGHT: below 1.3kg incl container and connection line! So a rescue overall weight of around 1% of max load: a very good value for a robust semi light version!

Thanks a lot to Eki from https://www.flugschule-achensee.at/ for the excellent pick me from water service!Image attachment

Report of the last days:
The last days we were at Bassano, flying the last version of upcoming RONDO 210 and 230. We were once again improving aglility and have now even concerns, that the handling (of the big one as well) is TOO GOOD!
As usual: Dont trust my words! Try it yourself! 
Rene (professionell tandem pilot) was never ever before flying a biplace with that low brake pressure and that good, tight turning and agility. Me as a passenger (as usual in the red overall) was trying it as well: What a fun wing!

With the RONDO we have reached an extreme good balance between profiles strack, wing pressure, sail tension, wing curve and brake reef / geometry.
-you will see!
We try to solve the last challenges now (we have +15cm, -3cm speed system travel)! you have a 36 cm long trim tape flapping around when it is all closed: but we already have some ideas...
-and give those 2 wings to certification now. 
Canopies are already in production.

On the video you see Alex and Rene on the 210 (33 proj): already with logo prints.
Then Rene and Hannes on the 230 (35 proj): both gliders are blue.Image attachment
