| DESCRIPTION (chinese): | Completed in 2010, XXtherm prototype 02 has now demonstrated its flying qualities, both with and without wind. Takeoff can be on foot, with bungee or by microlight tow and last year the team moved into new 250m² premises, where pre-production work is under way in preparation for marketing. Performance of this hang glider / sailplane cross is excellent: glide ratio 30, weight below 60kg, pilot weight range 60-100kg. Rigging and derigging is simple, thanks to automatic connectors for the control runs. Basic price should be 45,000-50,000 euros, without instruments or travel container (either roofbox or trailer). |
