Manfred's comments
The Relax 14 and 18 have both passed easily the DHV Pitch and Load test.
T
ill 80km/h the Pitch is good.
According to the DHV rules the maximum speed (VNE) will be 70km/h
We have also made the load test with the Relax 18 at 800 kg positive and 400 kg negative.
This means that the maximum clip in weight will be 120kg.
To complete the tests a Dhv Pilot (Christoph Kratzner) has just to make a final flight.

The “salad bowl” has “grown up”

We liked the witty nick name “salad bowl”, which Davis Straub gave to our competition helmet.
And now we are happy to announce that after one year of sales, we see that our salad bowl is having a big success, many pilots like this helmet.

For this reason we decided to make a real protective 4-fight helmet with our usual European certification E.N. 966 (the certification for the free flight helmets and the UL helmets).

 It has been a lot of work and not easy but we are convinced that it was worth doing it.

This helmet has been carried out by our “Art Director“ Ignazio Bernardi together with the best helmet designer in the world. His name is TOP secret, and therefore we call him the “Pininfarina” of the helmets. (For those who do not know, Mr. Pininfarina is the man who has designed the most beautiful Ferraris). 

Our “Pininfarina” has designed a lot of helmets amongst which also the helmet of Valentino Rossi (the undisputed Italian motorcycle champion), Max Biaggi (another motorcycle champion), Michael Schumacher.
50% of the helmets used by the Formula 1 pilots have been designed by this man.  

The new 4fight integral will be presented mid March at the Free flight exhibition, the most important fair of free flight in Germany.

The deliveries will start right after the exhibition. 

It is also foreseen to make a JET model, without chin protection (but with E.N. 966 certification).
