| DESCRIPTION (chinese): | The commercialization of this magnificent rigid-wing mini-glider began in 2010. The first customers have now received their aircraft and the marque has made its first appearance in competition, demonstrating very considerable potential in class 2. Flown semi-supine like a sailplane, the aircraft can be footlaunched, helped up with a bungee or towed. Its finish can only be described as the height of excellence and the price reflects that: 58,150 euros in basic form without enclosed cockpit (6525 euros extra), rescue \'chute (2664 euros) or the essential trailer. |
