Fun and secure performance for intermediate pilots - The Kiss is also perfect for competent new pilots leaving school or in fact any pilot searching for a wing that inspires confidence, but at the same time, delivers the handling and performance to fly high and far.

Aimed at recreational pilots who want maximum security and comfort in the DHV 1-2 class, this glider is designed to make soaring stress free and effortless. An ideal wing for pilots to gain their early cross country experience on, or experienced intermediate pilots who simply want stability and peace of mind in their flights.

The KISS was developed on the newest design program like the very successful Magic 4 . This new software has incredible accuracy and allows panels to be shaped in a totally new way. The result is that we've been able to build in more tension on the leading edge. This keeps the sail clean and tight and creates a smoother, cleaner profile.

Aesthetics aside this is a great way of adding performance without compromising either the handling or the stability. To aid pitch stability it has a newly developed diagonal structure. By moving away from a full length diagonal structure we were able to save more weight, reduce the inertia of the wing and aid re-inflation after closures.

To give the wing a real feeling of safety and stability in roll we used a centre rib rather than a 'weightshift cell'. The centre rib is linked to the cells either side by diagonal ribs and controls the effect of weight-shift on the wing.

The end result is an exceptionally clean wing with outstanding safety and excellent performance for its class. Take a closer look.
