The Sting is the first release of the
new Swing motor glider section, Powerplay.
The Sting is based on the Arcus glider, with its very broad weight
range and its two certifications (DULV/German Ultralight Association and
DHV 1/1-2).
The Sting is designed for paramotor pilots who would also like to
enjoy free flight without having to get a second wing.
The Sting's launch behavior is very easy and it has excellent
performance with high passive safety and pleasant handling for
situations ranging from training to cross-country or distance flying.
|
The Sting is well-suited for beginners and safety-conscious
social pilots who are looking for a reliable glider which will
ensure that even nil-wind launches from the flat are not a
nightmare.
The four certified sizes cover a take-off weight range from
80-250 kg which means that even tandem trike-flying is possible
with the Sting.
|
| - Soft handling, very easy to inflate; - Good turning capacity;
- Safe and strong in turbulence;
- Beginner and advanced pilot.- Reinforced lines for paramotor;
- Made from the high-quality and
durable fabrics Perseverance PN6 and Toray WT7.
- Paramotor and paragliders
risers as well;
|
 |
 |
It is certified for motorized flying as well as for free
flying. The unique riser system means that the Sting can be optimally
fitted to any motor and no adjustment is necessary for free
flight. The trimmer allows cruise speed to be increased to
approx. 45 km/h and the counter-torque to be compensated without
troublesome counter-braking.
|
| It can be supplied with either the standard back-pack
or with the stuff sack. |
|
| The Sting is with DVH 1-2 and DULV 1 (suitable
for training) considering the corresponding weight range.
Eric Dufour uses the Sting for his
students in school, since it is a very good glider for beginners
as well as for experienced pilots. |
