Increase performance. Achieve perfection. There is probably no better proving ground for a high performance wing than the Red Bull X-Alps. This was impressively proved by our team pilots Paul Guschlbauer, Stephan Gruber and Ivan Colas. A glider, flown by 3 different high class pilots, that withstands the world’s toughest adventure race over a 1000 kilometer route across the Alps has just the right qualities that performance-oriented XC pilots are looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the POISON glide?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe POISON X-ALPS glides as if on rails, smooths out even the smallest bumps, and uncompromisingly converts every little bit of lift into altitude. Its optimally selected aspect ratio of 6.9 guarantees comp wing feeling. Thanks to its 3-line technology, the newest member of the POISON family is amazingly easy to launch despite its high A\/R and is easy to fly, even when conditions get rough. The new “Speed Control” system helps take care of that. This system modifies not only the C-, but also the B-line geometry of this 3-liner and its comfortable handles make it feel intuitive. The Speed Control prevents profile deformations and surges that degrade performance. Combined with the smooth speed system, the Speed Control enables efficient and fatigue-free flying on bar – whether scratching down low or sailing along under an endless cloud street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its high stability, the POISON X-ALPS is very resistant to collapses. Line pressure on its short brake line travel increases continuously and markedly, giving pilots flying in rough air optimal feedback. For experienced pilots who fly very actively, gliders reactions remain manageable. However, we recommend the POISON X-ALPS only for pilots who already have experience with gliders of this class under turbulent conditions and who are experienced in recovering from extreme flight maneuvers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"The perfect wing for my new project!\" - Tom Walder, XC-expert\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJET FLAPS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur JET FLAPS extend the green arc as you approach the stall point, which substantially increases safety and also improves climb performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eC-WIRES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eC-wires are nylon wires sewn into the glider over the anchor points of the C-level lines.
