Even so, safety has been prioritised and the BLADE is certified in the DHV 2 category, an amazing achievement for this level of performance. The handling has not been compromised either - the Blade has great manoevrability to exploit the tightest, gnarliest thermals, and very straightforward behaviour in extreme manoevres, making it the ideal glider for regular and ambitious pilots. |
