THE CHARACTERISTICS:
The trustworthy flying comfort of the Pandion gives you a safe and pleasant feeling at all times in flight. The reliable feedback of the canopy lets you feel the air and assists you in finding and centering thermals.
The sophisticated layout of the lines with optimized line positions and the shark-nose-profile guarantees high strength, excellent flight characteristics, and very pleasant handling during take-off.
In turbulence or erratic weather conditions, the glider flies safely, and the canopy remains pitch stable providing an enjoyable flight. Active flying is easy to learn and long distance flights are possible, even in rough conditions. For talented new pilots, the Pandion can also be a first glider.
