freeX pure


The PURE is the very latest glider in the DHV 1/2 class, and brings the performance level of stable gliders to a point which would have seemed impossible just a short time ago. Now there is really no need to sacrifice stability for performance. The speed of the PURE gives improved into-wind glide performance, and the handling in thermals is superb, as you would expect. In rough conditions, the PURE is designed to give a reassuring feel, so that relatively inexperienced pilots will feel right at home. But the experienced pilot will also find the PURE a perfect glider for relaxing cross-country flights.



All freeX gliders are guaranteed for 3 years / 300 hours use. details of guarantee Construction is from British Carrington nylon fabric, lines are in Hoechst superaramid. Included in the price is a superb quality carrying bag (also available separately), speed bar, repair patches, stuffsack, compression strap and manual (now also available here as a download to print off.)
