Description
- Improved handling and better performance compared to the “3”, but exactly as easy and safe to fly
- 3-liner riser design – easy sorting of the lines, minimum drag = more performance
- Mini-ribs in the trailing edge serve to keep that part of the wing under control in the air, and help performance too
- Swept-back wingtips improve handling and stall characteristics just like on the higher rated wings
- Improved riser design with RonstanTM pulleys for efficient use of the speed system with increased top speed
- Improved handling and increased performance compared to the Makalu 3, but still the same kind of “safety first” glider
- Front Section Support system (FSS) for perfect leading edge definition (=high speed stability), light weight and easy packing. Drag reduction by keeping the leading edge clean and in shape
- Brake Tensioning System (BTS) for crisper handling and optimum tension on the trailing edge
- 3D panel shaping – reduces the wrinkles in the canopy = better performance
- UP-typical curved cell openings – stronger leading edge in turbulence and reduced drag
- Magnetic poppers on the brake handles
