Bolero 8: Designed to grow with you
More balanced, more stable
A redesigned profile and refined internal architecture deliver a noticeably more homogeneous wing. Pitch and roll damping are improved across the span, and resistance to collapses is higher, so the Bolero 8 stays composed in turbulence and gives students a stable platform to learn from.
Performance that grows with you
Although conceived as a school glider, the Bolero 8 offers surprising aerodynamic efficiency. The Bolero 8 has a long brake range, with a clear notice when the stall point is near, which is ideal for your first flights, yet has the glide and climb performance to support longer flights and your first excursions outside the training site.
In short: ideal for learning, and still useful as you progress.
Effortless, repeatable launches
A new EPT system and updated rods configuration keep the leading edge and the nose shaped consistently at any angle of attack. That means clean, predictable inflations and a canopy that comfortably sits overhead while the pilot runs, no surging forward, and with predictable movements. Launches become a reliable, repeatable practice.
Efficient, forgiving turns
The Bolero 8’s stability and revised canopy arc produce handling that is playful, permissive, yet efficient even in light conditions. The optimized brake pressure and increased brake travel help students to identify stall points safely, and to recognize easily thermal cores and ascendent air masses.
Extended weight range
With increased certified weight ranges, the Bolero 8 accommodates more pilots within each size. That flexibility simplifies school operations and means a single size can serve a wider variety of students without compromising handling or safety.
