Airwave Sport Competition (PAST MODEL)

High Performance for Everyone

Since its release in 2008, the Sport 4 has proved itself to be an outstanding wing in the 1-2 class. The balance of performance and accessibility has been appreciated by pilots worldwide.
With the Sport Competition we are aiming even higher. We have optimised the glider though several changes to the wing's construction that has improved the flying experience in almost every respect, from performance to weight handling and safety . Our test pilots were very impressed with the results of the flight test measurements which revealed a glide improvement at trim speed, but a massive improvement of around one point in glide at top speed, leading to a significantly flattened polar curve.
The Sport Competition has been optimized by changes in several significant construction details leading to a weight reduction of almost one kilo.
By using the lighter materials the brake pressure has been reduced and the handling has improved as well due to the reduced inertia of the wing. The whole package will thrill you!
If you want to experience the performance of this top glider you don't need to be a competition pilot; like the Sport 4, the Sport Competition is surprisingly easy to fly. Of course it is certified EN-B and LTF 1-2.

Construction features

The Sport Competition uses a lighter cloth on the bottom sail as well as in the internal structure.
For the gallery lines of the Sport Competition we have selected 80kg UV coated microlines by Edelrid.
These lines are an ideal compromise between reduction of drag and durability, and as it is only the lines next to the wing that are microlines they are unlikely to come in contact with the ground avoiding any deterioration of the microlines. All the middle and lower lines are wear resistant sheathed lines.
The parasitic drag is reduced even more by using special risers.
The change in the speed system the Sport Competition gives a smoother more direct acceleration.
All these factors improve performance, without losing in safety or durability.
The Sport Competition is the right wing for pilots who want a great performing glider in the LTF 1-2 class. Particularly in accelerated flight, where some gliders of higher categories can struggle to keep the same glide at speed.
The Sport Competition is also a good choice for travelers, pilots who want to bivouac and hikers, as the weight has been reduced noticeably.
If you wish you can get the Sport Competition with the Para trecking backpack. This combination makes it the ideal partner for many situations.
