Air Design Ride 4

A tandem wing developed over 2 years and around 20 prototypes, sharing nothing with the Ride 3 but the name and the van logo. Built and tested as a working tourist machine in demanding conditions: snowy winter launches with tailwind, strong spring thermals, windy take-offs, no-wind landings in tight spots, and a wide spread of wing loading with several landing techniques. One-pull inflation, precise handling, and a floaty controlled flare hold up across the range. Two sizes: 40 m² (110-220 kg) and 43 m² (120-235 kg).
