EVEN MORE FUN TO FLY AND WITH THE SAME GOOD STABILITY
A
glider for both beginner and
intermediate recreational pilots
High stability, great performance,
easy take-off, easy handling, high
quality and... So much fun to fly !
The Power Pluto II
is based on the popular
Power Pluto,
but it has been improved in all its characteristics:
The handling is still easy and more precise, whilst security has
been proven by the EN-B test results.
The glider has an innate 'self-centring' tendency in thermals, along
with a greater top speed and
improved glide ratio.
These qualities make the
Power Pluto II
appealing to a wide range of pilots from complete beginners to sporty and
also cross country pilots.
The Power Pluto II is for
foot launch and trike pilots who
want stability, but with more performance
and fun handling.
This wing has good passive safety and excellent performance with the easy
and precise handling that is a feature of all the Axisgliders.
Its
special
profile minimises the pendulum effect in flight and increases
canopy stability in turbulent conditions.
It is easy to inflate, easy to handle on the ground and in the air
which makes
take-off’s easy, as the Power Pluto II has no tendency to over-fly the
pilot.
It
has a relatively high-curve profile
for a glider in its
class that provides for great performance, quick turning ability
and a high degree of safety.

Axis differential speed-system (DSS)
enables the pilot to achieve a higher top speed without the risk of
collapse.

Split A-risers
allow for easier identification of
lines for big ears.
Diagonal reinforcement is used between the ribs, allowing fewer attachment
points, fewer lines and less drag.
This proven method of
diagonal reinforcement
at the attachment points
of A, B and C lines
allows a reduction in
lines without
affecting canopy
rigidity. This is
further enhanced by the
use of new quality
materials.
Optimizing the
amount of lines and using different
diameters significantly reduces frontal
resistance, subsequently increasing
the wing's performance with no effect on
the safety.
Choice of colors
For an additional
$300, you
can order your Axis glider in custom color.
Material
The canopy is manufactured from a combination of Skytex
S9017 with "water repellent" coating which provides
optimum UV resistance and S9092 for improved durability.
Reinforcement is Porcher Marine Scrimm W240 which
maintains the configuration and flight characteristics.
Lines are Liros Dyneema PPSL, characterised by minimal
stretching and long durability.

The tandem
Power Pluto II
aimed for
professional
pilots.
High passive
safety, easy
to
launch and
outstanding
performance are
the
main
characteristics
for this glider.
The profile
of this glider
was specially
designed to
minimize all
pitching and
rolling of a
glider in flight,
increasing
stability of
the
canopy in
turbulent air.
Well-established
construction of
diagonal
reinforcement in
A,B,C rows
helped reduce
the
number of lines
without any
effect on
the
glider´s
strength.
Optimizing the
amount of lines
and using
different
diameters
reduces drag and
such increases
glider´s
performance
without any
effect on
the
glider.
Axis
achieved
these excellent
characteristics
by using high
quality
materials (Porcher
Marine Scrim
W420) on the
leading edge and
new materials
which have
reduced the
weight of the
canopy, also
increasing its
safety. The
newly designed
differential
speed-system
increases speed,
whilst reducing
the chances of
collapses on
maximum speed.
