Advance have announced the release date of the Sigma 9, the latest iteration of their well-known EN C glider.
Scheduled to be released towards the end of May this year the glider offers “less aspect ratio and weight, more performance and precision” Advance say.
They state:
The latest model in the distinguished Sigma series has the lowest aspect ratio of the current EN C class, yet weighs in with maximum performance.
Pronounced compactness and stability delivers an exceptionally comfortable ride and reassuring feeling, especially while accelerated in turbulent air, so performance is fully flyable over the whole polar curve.
Other impressive Sigma 9 features are its very straightforward takeoff behaviour and precise handling.
The legendary Sigma series embodies tradition and progress in equal measure, so this ninth generation is once again unmistakable in terms of handling and design.
The Sigma 9 is aimed at experienced and current XC pilots. It will be available in 23, 25, 27 and 29 sizes and in four colour schemes.
