PEDIGREE
The Kona 2 is the PPG version of the Buzz Z6, sharing the same technology, cutting edge performance, comfort and ease of use. It is the perfect cross over wing that excels whether flown under power or in free-flight.
PERFORMANCE
Aerodynamically, the Kona 2’s profile and sail are very clean, benefiting from many of the performance enhancing design features that have driven our latest generation of performance wings. The Kona 2’s aspect ratio remains the same as the Kona – increasing aspect ratio is a simple method of increasing performance, but can lead to significant compromises in passive safety. This is not something we are willing to do, instead we focus on other areas, notably reducing drag. Although not a full on reflex profile, the Kona 2 features the well proven, solid Shark Nose profile that is very collapse resistant and forgiving in the brake range. The Kona 2 also features double 3D shaping for a cleaner leading edge; a new internal structure for comfort and structural strength along with an optimised line layout to reduce parasitic drag. The Kona 2 is a very modern performance wing offering class leading performance, solidity and high levels of safety.
COMFORT AND PROGRESSION
Above all else, the Kona 2 is easy and comfortable to fly. The handling is intuitive, fun, and agile, with a progressive and precise feel though the brakes. It is highly compact, with perfectly coordinated roll and yaw in the climb. In active air, the feedback from the wing is gentle and predictable; filtering air movements in an understandable way.
