Equipment

Swiss-based free flight equipment company Basisrausch have created a new glove for hang glider and paraglider pilots. The Crystal is a three season windproof glove that has been made for comfort, warmth and sensitivity.

The moulded, soft goat leather glove has side reinforcements, a light thermal lining and non-slip silicone grips. Long cuffs ensure no draughts get to your wrists, even whilst your hands are outstretched and exposed to the airflow whilst paragliding.

Pro Design has joined the acro scene by releasing their new acro wing, called Burst.

Info from the manufacturer:

The brand new BURST with action-speed and direct handling for Acro-performance in highest perfection! A fast and compact wing in small size with highest in-flight stability, easy to handle in all maneuvers.

Adrenalin, agility, action – this trinity in the acro sky has a new name: U-Turn MORPHEUS. To experience the full G-FORCE agility with this highly flexible canopy, just before and at the limit but with an extra portion of safety – this is the promise of the MORPHEUS.

The Independence Duke is an uncompromising aerobatic wing.

Pure dynamic together with a very direct handling enables the experienced pilot to fly all aerobatic maneuvers with a maximum of precision.

By it´s very efficient profile the Duke is despite of the small surface, which is usual for acro-wings, also a very good wing in thermal or dynamic soaring conditions.

Gradient is starting production of „free style“ Aspen II gliders. This version is focused on fun flying and aerobatics. In program are two sizes 22 and 20 and one colour combinations as a standard. Line dimensions are like wellprooved aerobatic Seven, but with UV protection. Technical datas and colour combination are attached. On Aspen II freestyle development was participating Antoine Montant as an aerobatic expert.

We are also coming with Seven 17 now, Seven uncompromised aerobatic special glider, Aspen II freestyle is for wide range of aerobatic pilots.
