performance. The advantage of the SECTOR is the totally usable
performance – like on the MENTOR. Even in strong thermals it stays
solid. The SECTOR also inherited the MENTOR‘s stability at full-speed.
The SECTOR gives cross-country pilots real confidence – a really
important prerequisite for long-distance flights.
Thermal flying – balanced and uncomplicated
Immediately after take off the pilot will feel a solid wing with a high
comfort factor. And this happy feeling continues when initiating a turn.
Short brake travel with very moderate pressure results in direct and
precise responses to brake inputs. Whether the thermals are large and
weak or small and strong, the SECTOR will climb in anything. It will
master all turns and angles of bank. Its main strengths are balance
and simplicity.
Technical summary
The SECTOR is an EN C wing with 67 cells and a flat aspect ratio of
5,92. The wing is made of moderately light material. Both inner A and
B-lines, as well as the main brake lines, are sheathed. The remainder of
the lines are made from unsheathed Kevlar.

The SECTOR
Introduction
The SECTOR is a performance XC wing with comparatively low aspect
ratio, with substantial, totally usable performance and excellent
handling. Like the MENTOR in the standard class, the SECTOR is the
mile-eater of the sports class. SECTOR – for your perfect XC day!
The inspiration – the mile-eaters of the sports class
For nearly a decade, the MENTOR has been the benchmark in LTF/EN B
cross-country wings and it wins everything that can be won. With the
new SECTOR we have taken the same approach – but in the sports
class (EN C). The low aspect-ratio (5.92) is the basis for a high level
of passive safety and confidence-inspiring flying characteristics.
Coupled with a precise handling, the SECTOR offers an impressively
high level of totally usable performance.
Totally usable performance – it’s a confidence thing
What is the use of having great performance in the morning, when
there is no wind, if the wing is tossed about in turbulent air on a mega
XC day? Pitch, roll, yaw or a continually deforming wing reduce the
