Relax DHV 1


Gliders description

The Relax is the classical Dhv 1 Fun hang glider expressly designed for all pilots, who wish to have a performing hang glider and at the same time light and easy to handle.
It is suitable for beginner pilots as well as for those who have always flown performing (and heavy) machines and who wish to fly again with a lighter and simpler hang glider.

It is
very lightweight and easy to handle, suitable also for teaching (the model Relax Medium is just 23 kg =46.5 lb)

It is stable and much easier to pilot, compared to our old Mars, reassuring the beginner pilot during the first high flights.

An accurate finishing, and a modern design: mylar reinforcement on the leading edge and a profiled nose cap, give good intermediate characteristics to the glider in order to satisfy also medium-expert pilots

Relax is the right choice to enjoy the flight for both beginners and medium-expert pilots.

Most outstanding features 

  • light weight 
  • easy to take-off and land with
  • very low stall speed
  • amazingly easy handling

Frame description

  • The frame is entirely made out of the best Aluminum tubes available, produced in the same 7075 alloy used in the Airplane Industry.
    We use drawn tubes to get the best dimension stability. This allows strong, light and reliable tubes. 

  • Profiled downtubes with rubber grip 

  • Floating cross bar 

  • Elliptical wing tip 

  • Profiled kingpost 

  • Two nose battens (always in place) and "semi automatic" nose cone (you don't have to attach the upper velcro) 

  • Despite there is only one luff line per side (split to hold two other battens), the Relax did pass the stability test easily. 

  •  Batten ends
    the "click-system" is very efficient, practical and it allows a fine tuning of the sail tensions. 

  • Keel Fin Stabilizer in order to prevent any dutch roll while towing or for beginner pilots that have problems with over controlling (yawing) their glider.
    The glider becomes more stable and easier to fly straight.
    The Keel Fin Stabilizer is easily packed into the glider.
