The Loop-2 is our latest acro glider. It's been designed from zero and depending on the size it can be use for recreational pilots who entry in the acro and for experienced pilots as well. The latest design technology has been used in the Loop-2 manufacturing with the help of some of the best acro pilots in the world. 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. We have paid a special attention to the wing manufacture. 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.

Here you can download this glider's flight manual…
A printed version of this manual is bundled with the wing.
It includes lots of useful details and information about this glider, also the correct line diagrams for proper replacement.
Each and every wing has a checklist passed though our strict quality control in the factory. This includes line measurement, ground inflation and flight testing. If there was not the opportunity to test fly your glider before you received it then you should get your dealer, or an experienced pilot or qualified instructor, to test fly the glider for you before you fly it. Note that each glider has a unique sticker attached to the centre cell with the serial number, type of glider, size and weight range.
We recommend that your first flight on your new glider be on a gentle slope in calm conditions before making any further higher flights, just to check the glider completely and for you to get used to flying it. You should use the same class of harness, and restrict the width of the chest strap, according to the glider's certification as advised by the certification body.
For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and Windtech WindSOS reserve.
