The Cruiser replaces the Merlin as Independence’s beginner glider.

Certified LTF1 and EN A, Independence say the glider offers an outstanding take-off behaviour, high passive safety and a very good glide and performance for this LTF class.

It has been designed to give “precise handling”, yet to be “forgiving of small mistakes – important on a wing aimed at beginners and those for whom optimum safety is important”.
