LEAF 3: PLAYFUL AND ACCESSIBLE

You are a progressing pilot, you have been flying for hours and hours under your school wing flight and you are starting to feel the limits of your EN-A ? It's time to upgrade to a LEAF 3!

Designed to offer a playful behavior while guaranteeing a high degree of passive High degree of passive safetythis new generation of the LEAF lineage returns with an improved design .

Thanks to the improved roll and yaw coordination, the LEAF 3's turn-in is more intuitive, making it easier to optimize theLift / thermic. The wing is more stable on the roll axisThe wing is more stable on the roll axis, even in accelerated flight , so you can concentrate on the really important information in the air mass. The large control range makes the LEAF 3 tolerant and allows the pilot to pilot to exploit the full speed range of the wing speed range of the wing in safety.

These elements make the LEAF 3 a particularly high-performance wing performant in flight thermal thanks to a comfortable comfortable and intuitive for pilots in progress. In addition to being an asset in small conditionsconditions, this steering precision allows the LEAF 3 to take you a long way in your progression in cross-country.

Pass under a LEAF 3, it is the Warranty to continue your learning under a wing player and reassuring that will take you your progress. It will teach you to refine your piloting while remaining indulgent. Here is what you need to have to have fun in complete safety for many, many hours at flight.

• IDEAL TO PROGRESS...

The LEAF 3 is the logical continuation of a school wing like the EONA 3 or the BIRDY.

Thought for pilots who want to go further, it is an glider easy to drive and tolerant which allows a transition towards a more efficient practice of the of paraglider.

Its composition is designed for an Use intuitive thanks to a refined Line set and simple and simple and ergonomic so that you can concentrate on the essential: the flight.

• ... WITHOUT GETTING BORED!

Despite its High level of accessibilitythe LEAF 3 is still a dynamic dynamic wing fun to play with.

Responsive to control and efficient in flight the LEAF 3 teaches you step by step to adopt a precise driving which will allow you to be always more serene under your wing in all conditions: flight on site, thermal, soaring, cross country...

• A DAMPED WING FOR MAXIMUM COMFORT

The LEAF 3 has a redesigned arch for improved roll Stability on the roll axis.. This construction absorbs parasitic movements movements of the wing for a comfort even in turbulent conditions.

Indeed, the wing filters the air mass to give you the information you really need to fly precise and intuitive piloting.

• WIDE CONTROL TRAVEL

Thanks to an internal structure of the wing designed to minimize the deformation of the Airfoilthe LEAF 3 benefits from a wide control travel.

This configuration allows the LEAF 3 to handle low speeds well, making its behavior tolerant and reassuring to give you give you the confidence necessary to progress in flight.

• AN OPTIMIZED DESIGN

The materials selected for the LEAF 3 are robust and durable. The Line set is easy to untangle for an easyUse of the wing, especially during the preflight.

The LEAF 3 has a redesigned leading edge. The air intakes alternate between two types of openings along the leading edge to ensure optimal internal pressure regardless of the speed of flight.

The large air inlets keep the internal pressure internal pressure at low speeds, while the narrower while the narrower openings ensure optimum pressure pressure from Airfoil in accelerated flight .

• EASY THERMAL CONTROL

The structure of the wing gives you a smoother smoother braking for precise control.. The turn is flatterwhich makes it easier to optimize theLift / thermic. The LEAF 3 is therefore an EN-B at the design ideal for the flight thermal and the cross.

Features

Flybubble review

"Starting with ground handling, the Leaf 3 showcases a remarkably easy and calm inflation process. Its design, notably the Leading Edge, exhibits meticulous work, allowing for a smooth and progressive lift without any tendency to bite. Even in strong conditions, the glider's confidence-inspiring pull-up and manageable behaviour on the ground make it stand out. It adds a layer of fun and playfulness, making ground handling a joyful experience.

In the Air, the Leaf 3's handling shines with a lighter touch, offering precise control and responsiveness. Striking a balance between moderate and light in its class, it provides a reassuring and direct feel. Notably, the Leaf 3 feels like a substantial design leap forward from its predecessor, making it a standout performer in the low-to-mid B category. Performance-wise, the Leaf 3 impresses with agility, especially during turns where it transitions from an easy, progressive feel to a more agile one. The glider's responsiveness to brake and weight shift adds to its playful yet confidence-inspiring nature. The noticeable improvement in trim speed over various conditions makes it an excellent choice for diverse flying experiences.

Gliding and Speed Bar: Cutting through the air cleanly, the Leaf 3 demonstrates efficient gliding and maintains a solid shape even when the speed bar is engaged. The lighter feel of the speed bar adds to the overall user experience, providing a nice connection to the glider while ensuring stability. Handling big ears is a breeze, with easy deployment and stable, confidence-inspiring performance. Spirals, a crucial aspect for this class, are well-controlled, entering smoothly with a calm, steady behaviour that allows for easy correction and a comfortable descent rate.

For pilots seeking a playful experience, the Leaf 3 excels in joyous swooping, especially in breezy conditions. Positioned as a low-to-mid B glider, it caters to a range of pilots, making it suitable as a second glider or an ideal progression for ambitious beginners. Conclusion: The Leaf 3 and Leaf 3 Light offers a delightful blend of ease, performance, and fun. Whether you're a seasoned pilot or an aspiring one, these gliders carve a niche in the low-to-mid B category, providing an enjoyable and confidence-inspiring flying experience."
