The Whistler is a glider
specifically designed for the new winter sport of speed-flying with skis. A number of prototypes in different sizes
were tested during last winter with excellent feedback from the pilots. After extensive
testing we have achieved our goals of simplicity and durability for our new
speed riding glider. We have designed a glider which is uncomplicated and easy
to handle. The Whistler’s brake range is
long. To slow down or increase the glide you simply add brake. With hands-up
the Whistler is fast enough!
The Whistler is available in
sizes 16; 14; 12 and 11. The 14m2
and 16 m2
sizes are for light or heavy beginners. The 12 m2 size
is for very experienced pilots. The 11 m2 size is
intended only for very light, experienced pilots and for experts. The Whistler
can be delivered complete with a harness and rucksack. | Surface Top Leading Edge: | Skytex 9017, Coating E77A 40 g/m2 | | Surface Top Trailing Edge: | Skytex 9017, Coating E38A 40 g/m2 | | Surface Bottom: | Skytex 9017, Coating E38A 40 g/m2 | | Main ribs: | Skytex 9017, Coating E29A 40 g/m2 | | Diagonal ribs: | Skytex 9017, Coating E29A 40 g/m2 | | Minor ribs: | Skytex 9017, Coating E38A 40 g/m2 | | Upper lines: | Edelrid Aramid/Kevlar
