The
Impulse is our new glider for new pilots, certified EN A. In this wing
we have applied all of the technical innovations and evolutions that we
have developed over the last few years: 3 risers, high arch, new system
of diagonals and line layout structure, etc…
The
Impulse is incredibly easy to launch, and it is extremely responsive
despite the big brake travel. It can be piloted very precisely and
sensitively in thermals. Impulse has an extremely wide speed range, and
the stall speed has been purposefully set out of the range of the brake
travel.
The
Impulse has been especially designed and developed so that you can
start your flying off with a great security margin, without forsaking
an excellent performance. The Impulse is your best and safest bet to
progressing rapidly into the world of free flight.
