Windtech’s new freestyle and acro glider, the Loop 2, is available now, suitable for new freestylers through to experienced acro flyers.
It’s capable of doing all the manoeuvres, tricks and transitions, Windtech say, but will look after a pilot as he or she learns them.
The enhanced geometry, the vault height and a special line rigging offers an optimal tension distribution even at negative angles. With all these improvements modern acro manouevers are easily accomplished and forgives pilot input errors when practicing things like: rhythmic sat / infinity / heli2sat / sat2heli / misty / mctwist / misty2heli.
The connections from one move to the next one are very fluid and thanks to the special Loop-2 geometry twist tendency is minimal when exit, therefore it does offer a great confidence to the beginners acro pilots. There is no doubt that the Loop-2 is able to make the most explosives move you ever dreamt about.
The wing is reinforced for the rigours of acro flying, but made as light as possible in other areas, coming in at 5.3-5.7kg.
Weight has been reduce at the critical points and the canopy is fully reinforced so it can hold maximum G’s and have a great weariness after several years of use. The new 38gr fabric guarantees an extreme durability. This combined with the webbing tension straps and the multiple reinforcement patches make the Loop-2 indestructible.
The Loop 2 is available in three sizes. Pilots should check Windtech’s wing loading table, below, to choose the right size of Loop 2 for their size and skill level.
