Mylar
(PX05/PX10/PX20) Sail
The Mylar option provides a stiffer
sail surface, therefore increasing glide performance. The
leading edge is PX20 Mylar, with the main sail constructed from
PX05 and PX10 Mylar. |
 |
Smoke Inlaid Mylar Sail
The smoke inlaid Mylar sail uses a semi-transparent dark cloth in
the centre of the sail's top surface. The dark cloth is surrounded
by the white Mylar cloth. In addition to the aesthetic advantage,
the smoke inlaid sail reduces the overall weight of the sail by
about one kilogram. |
 |
PX Inlaid Mylar Sail
The PX inlaid Mylar sail is the same as the smoke inlaid sail execpt it uses a PX5 (5 gram)
white cloth in the centre of the sail's top surface instead. The outer edges of the
sail is made from the thicker white PX Mylars. The result is an all white sail which is
lighter than the standard white sail by about one kilogram. |

Carbon
Fibre Outer Leading Edge
The carbon fibre outer leading edge
is lighter than the standard aluminium outer leading edge and therefore
decreases wing tip inertia, thus improving the manoeuvrability of
the glider.The carbon fibre outer leading edges save approximately
730 grams off the weight of the glider. This is quite significant
as the weight is towards the tip of the sail, thereby having a more
significant reduction in wing tip inertia.
|
 |
Carbon Fibre Inner Leading Edge
The inner carbon fibre leading edge further reduces the overall
weight of the glider.The carbon fibre inner leading edges save
approximately 900 grams off the weight of the glider.
|
 |
Carbon
Fibre Leading Edge Inserts
These very thin, light yet strong
inserts are positioned in a sown pocket within the leading edge.
They run nearly the full length of the leading edge and assist with
wind deflection on the leading edge, providing a clean, smooth leading
surface. |
 |
Carbon Fibre Dive Struts
These high quality carbon dive struts replace the standard aluminium
components for an additional weight saving.The carbon fibre dive
struts save approximately 340 grams off the weight of the glider.
This is quite significant as the weight is towards the tip of the
sail, thereby having a more significant reduction in wing tip inertia.

Carbon
Batten Set
This option includes the four top surface battens
that are supported by the dive sticks and the two inner under surface
battens. The carbon battens are significantly stiffer than
the aluminium, allowing for improved tuning of the glider. |
 |
Standard Uprights with Round Speed
Bar
The standard a-frame configuration provides a set of
aluminium aerofoil uprights and a round aluminium speed bar.
The speed is fitted with rubber hand grips. |
 |
Standard
Upright with FAST Aerodynamic Aluminium Speed Bar
The FAST aerodynamic
aluminium speed bar can be fitted to the standard aluminium
aerofoil uprights. |
 |
Zoom
Upright with FAST Aerodynamic Aluminium Speed Bar
The Zoom upright is a thinner
profile aluminium upright compared to the standard aerofoil
upright. The Zoom uprights are lighter and more
aerodynamic, thus improving performance.
NOTE: The
non-foldable zoom fittings are used with the FAST bar, therefore
the carbon speed bar can not be retro-fitted without changing
the Zoom bottom fittings. |
 |
Zoom Uprights with Carbon Fibre
Performance Speed Bar
This premium a-frame options
include the lighter and more aerodynamic Zoom uprights and the
pre-impregnated carbon fibre speed bar. The Zoom uprights
are lighter and more aerodynamic for improved performance.
The carbon speed bar is specifically designed for improved
comfort and control whilst flying. This option also uses a
special Zoom bottom fitting that allows the carbon base bar to
fold out an extra 45 degrees, thus being more forgiving on
unfortunate landings. |
