Gradient XC3 almost here


The Italian Gradient importer says that he tested the Avax XC3 in Bassano. The glider is confirmed as a 3 liner, rigifoil, arc on the rib at the height
of the B, new diagonals, aspect ratio 6.8. Quite similar to XC2, handling more straight, even more agile and nice!
The leading edge gives the impression of great solidity. Speed system on 2 pulleys, is soft and the wing speeds up a lot just touching it lightly. Speed increase is considerable. Ondej Dupal is happy with the result; he said the leading
edge is very stable and he tested the wing up to 68 km/h (this won't be the trimming for the certification). He states that for gradient this is an innovative wing with big performances and is very nice to fly.
