“From the very first moment you will notice
the clear line geometry, which makes it very
easy to sort out the lines. Takeoff and landing
are easy to manage even for inexperienced
pilots. Once in the air, you will feel very
comfortable under this wing.”
Michael Scheck
TEST PILOT
The
characteristics
The takeoff with the Pica is extremely easy and
predictable. The glider rises up almost by itself
and is very unsusceptible to pilot mistakes with
no tendency to overshoot. Once in the air, the
Picas compactness and handling will make you
feel like you would fly a wing of a higher class,
but still with the benefit of the highest passive
safety within our product range.
line geometry

profile type
Pica is a great climber too: Being very stable
above your head it enters the thermals with no
pitch back, helping you to get a precise feeling
about the thermal. Its wide speed range makes
the glider super easy and soft even in no wind
landings.

material transition
Being a hybrid 3-liner with only two main lines
per side, gives the glider a very minimalistic
line geometry. This doesn’t just makes it clearer
and easier at the takeoff, but also benefits
the performance in the air a lot. The carefully
coloured and marked risers help you to to always
keep an overview both at the takeoff as well as
in the air.
