Vers.1.0 S. 8 / 30
Performance
We have improved the maximum speed, as well as the stability and the glide
ratio in accelerated flight. So the ION LIGHT is the perfect wing to gather
experience in cross country flight.
The greatest strength of the ION LIGHT lies in its impressive climbing
performance. The wing can be turned very slow and tight, which allows the
pilot to use small thermals efficiently. Thanks to the precise handling
characteristics, it is easy to increase or decrease the amount of banking. The
combination of efficient and relaxed thermalling is without equal.
New Features
• Kink resistant nylon rods instead of mylar reinforcements at the
leading edge.
• Dirtholes on the stabile.
• New position and fixation of the brake pulleys for better
ergonomics.
• A vector band behind the cell openings maintains a very good
shape of this important part of the wing.
Target Group
The ION LIGHT aims to all pilots who are looking for a light weight wing with
a pleasant handling and a very high safety level. This combination is interesting
for mountaineers, as well for other pilots, who appreciate a light glider with a
small pack size.
The ION LIGHT is no all-out super light wing and it is absolutely suited for
regular use and we issue the same material-guarantee like for all our other
gliders. Of course the light construction requires some compromises. That's
why we recommend the normal-weight Ion for all pilots who strain their glider
extraordinary, for example by doing a lot of ground handling.
Pilots requirements:
The ION LIGHT is approved for schooling, so of course we don’t make any
demands on the pilot’s skills, but we would like to remind every pilot of the
importance of individual responsibility at this point.
