Description
The glider has been in dry & heated indoor storage for the past 12 years. I bought it in 2012 at the time my second child was born, and life got too busy to use it, hence low hours despite age. I put about 20 hours on it last year and previously flew for one season.
The glider has no damage or repairs, never used on coastal sites, has not been landed in water or in any incidents (eg. tree landings), no SIV no acro -- flown on grassy take-offs and landing. It really is in great condition and still climbs and soars very well.
Selling due to a desire to fly in competitions again so upgrading.
It comes with a rucksack, concertina bag, bag and manual. Here's some data from the manual:
Aspect ratio: 5.99
Glider weight: 5.4kg
Speed (basic-max): 39 - 58+km/h
Min sink: 0.95m/s
Glide ratio: 10+
