We are glad to announce a serial production of Combat C competition glider.
The first thing that would impress you upon the arrival of your glider from the factory in a box is its transportation possibilities. The glider is very easy to break down to 3.5 meters package just by taking the outer LE off it. This must be the shortest package of a topless glider on the market.
The glider is very easy to fly and effortless to control, nice coordination without even a sign of adverse yaw – this is a remarkable feature compared to our previous gliders. Light bar pressure all the way up to 80 km/h, after that it is increasing progressively.
Another huge advantage is that the glider absorbs turbulence and it does not feel in the air that turbulent if compared to flying any other glider. This allows to feel the air much better and search for the lift more efficiently. Carbon elliptical leading edge tubes are less rigid vertically, that’s why they damp vertical air turbulence similar to long wings of an open class sailplane.
Gliding is not that much special in calm air but as soon as you get an influence from thermal activity the glider starts to glide very well, quite often arriving to the next thermal higher than most of the others.
Combat C is the glider with high aspect ratio, so the horizontal stabilizer is required to fly it safely and efficiently. New generation of stabilizers is very light, you do not feel it in the air at all, but together with the glider’s new advanced airfoil it gives a visible advantage on glide in turbulent air. This year we have made a stabilizer even lighter with more compact shape allowing to store it much easier.
