the very succesful intermediate Hang Glider
The most outstanding features
Designed by the world champion Manfred Ruhmer, this advanced intermediate glider is in production since 10 years.
With the little improvements we made during this period and with the new sail design it's now time to call it Orbiter 2.
This glider is the right choice for the pilots:
We designed a perfect sail-cut to get a clean sail in flight
Rip-stop sail in Dacron, to ensure stable profile and long durability
Our designer and phographer Ignazio Bernardi has "invented" a
new sail design with 24 beautiful color combinations.
You can choose your own colors on the sail configurator
The finest tubing available is used, made from 7075 alloy,
the same as that utilized in the aeronautical industry.
Our tubing is manufactured by extrusion, the process that guarantees the highest possible performance in terms of weight/strength and reliability.
