Our job was complicated by new, stricter DHV standard for category 1-2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA glider of DHV 1-2 should be first of all well balanced in performance and behaviour. The most important for a glider of that class is to allow fly almost without \"active flying\" style. The canopy must be very resistant against collapses and when a collapse comes, the glider must not rotate fast and must be easy to stabilize it. The opening must be spontaneous, fast and smooth, without overshooting. A perfect launch and landing characteristic is a commonplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring long, 15 month long-lasting development we used 11 prototypes with different canopy curvatures, different systems of attachment points and different systems of line suspension with 3 or 4 rows (risers). Experiments were also made on the shape and positions of the cell openings. Maximum attention was given to the relationship between the tension in the leading edge and trailing edge - when the tension in the leading edge and trailing edge of the canopy is well balanced, the glider feels compact, has good performance and gives perfect feedback to the pilot. If not, the canopy oscillates a lot or in the opposite, the performance and behaviour is bad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are a lot of important parameters and only their optimal combination give a good result. It means that most important in development of a glider in this category is testing - and here our test pilots, lead by Ondrej Dupal, made a really good job. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGradient Golden \u0026gt; Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe decided to keep simple concept of Onyx. Golden has 42 cells only, suspension system with differing diameters of lines has three main risers (A riser is split), the new system of segmented diagonal ribs helps to reduce its number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll this elements bring some big advantages...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight of the glider is very low - in size 28 less than 6 kg!
