ing calculated zones of greater longitudinal tension, very important for increasing resist-
ance to tucks (above all frontal collapses).

The cargo’s new profile gives highly elevated security and performance, as well as a
turning ability that is surprisingly efficient.

It has double profiles in the leading edge, therefore it is safier, specially when trims open
and also has more performance at high speed.

The end result is a tandem that inflates quickly and easily during launch and is excep-
tionally stable and solid during the take-off run, giving great protection against having
to abort launches and compromising the safety of yourself and your passenger.

During launch the cargo gives an exceptional degree of control, allowing the pilot to
easily make precise corrections during the take-off run. Once airborne, the cargo’s
superb feedback and responsive handling allows one to make the most of even the small-
est thermals.

When the time comes to land, the exquisite handling characteristics and precision of the
cargo

serve as another great guarantee of safety since you can first of all guide your-

self more precisely into exactly the spot you wanted to land in, confident that in the final
moment, when you want to flare, you will be able to take advantage of the wings superb
energy conversion, landing both you and your passenger easy and safety each time.

> construction and
materials

Our primary concern is always keeping
to the highest quality standards of
materials and construction, to impress
the pilots and so guarantee our future.
For this reason, we never cut any cor-
ners when it comes to building in qual-
ity.

-- cloth

The upper and lower panels are made
with 45 gr. Porcher Marine Skytex
nylon. The ribs are made with stronger
nylon of to prevent aerofoil deforma-
tion, even after several years of inten-
sive use. Rib (cell wall) reinforcements
are made of Dacron 310

&180 gr. Line

attachment points are made of poly-
ester.

--lines

The lines are of the highest quality and varying diameters, depending on which area of
the glider they are in, but always of a diameter greater than a solo glider, capable of with-
standing a force up to eight times the maximum load. The inner core is super aramid and
the outer sheath polyester to protect against general wear and tear and UV.
