Seedwings in Europe

Post by soar8hours »

I flew several of the early Seedwing Sensors here in the US starting with the "A" model.
It had a keel pocket and fiberglass wand curved tips.
The "B" model was way ahead of it's time too.
It had the best sink rate around and was very good at flat turning too.
The tailfin was a real nice feature.
The VG worked great and it had good top speed for it's day.
I really liked the way it flat turned too.
Sometimes in rowdy air it was a hand full or abit stiff to turn.
It had a thick airfoil and the flare window timing was somewhat narrow.
And I once owned a special intermediate "E" model.
It was my favorite.

Insolvenz

Post by winDfried »

The first battle in the awaited "war of survival" of hang gliding manufacturers has started:

Hopefully two or three reliable manufacturers will remain till the end of my HG flying carreer.
