Design Details
- Faceted leading edge with 6 degree ferrule bend combines advantages of both high and low aspect ratio wings to add lift and precision.
- More durable because the leading edge rods are kept straight, not pre-bent like traditional cambered wings.
- Floating center-t provides flexible spine connection to absorb shock and reduce spine breakage.
- Adjustable bridle inhauls at center-t lets you fine tune turn radius and control response.
- New APA leading edge connector fittings reduce weight, make assembly easier, and capture the bridle legs so fittings can’t get lost in the grass.
- Adjustable standoffs allow precise control over wing twist to add or reduce lift when the wind changes.
- Low-stretch Mylar laminate leading edge panels control the wing’s airfoil profile to make stalls easier to initiate and hold.
- Lightweight 1/2 oz ripstop polyester sailcloth minimizes weight and won’t stretch and absorb moisture on humid days.
- Dynamic DT15 wrapped, tapered carbon lower spreaders put stiffness in the middle of the kite where you want it for performance and minimize weight towards the wingtips for quick response.
- 6mm pultruded carbon leading edges and spine are tougher than wrapped tubes in a mishap and more affordable to replace if you ever need to.
- Vectran reinforced nose won’t punch or wear through from abrasion.
- Lightweight full length sleeve won’t add bulk in your kite bag, snaps to half length, and includes a pocket for the upper spreader so it doesn’t get lost.
