Final - 40 km/h
Note: all data are preliminary and may be subject to change for production gliders. Performance data are not verified by flight tests at present. Performance data are calculated for fully faired cabin.
span 15 m, area 11.5 m2, packing size without cabin 5.5x0.75x0.6m
pilot weight 60-110 kg, design limit load +6/-4 G
weight production glider 60 kg, weight chute 5.5 kg, weight cabin fairings 4.5 kg (the prototype is equipped with a sturdier landing gear, heavier chute and different reinforcements for testing purposes)
VNE footlaunch version 140 km/h, VNE glider version 170 km/h, take off speed for 80 kg pilot and 45 deg slope 32 km/h footlaunch version
projected min. sink rate 0.42 m/s, projected max. L/D 36 (footlaunch version), projected max L/D with modified flaps, cabin and ballast L/D > 40 (glider version)
CS22 and LTF-L have been used as guidelines, as far as CS22 and LTF-L are reasonably applicable for foot launchable gliders
construction: carbon sandwich shells, carbon spar, titanium inserts, chromoly tubes and aluminum tubes for cage, aramid cabin fairings
