The Alpha is the most docile wing of our hang gliders family, offering easy and comfortable handling in the air as well as a much easierm take-off and landing above other performance attributes.
The Alpha 235 replaces the Alpha 210. Compared to the 210, the stall speed is lower and the controllability at speeds close to stall is significantly better.
Another characteristic of the alpha is its slow flight, offering a good soaring performance, this wing is the favorite of instructors to teach new pilots to fly the sport, being the perfect wing for beginners and pilots who like soaring and relaxing flights.
The standard control bar on the Alpha features round downtubes and a round, straight basetube. A round, speedbar basetube is an available upgrade. This control bar configuration will accept either the 5 inch diameter Hall wheels or the 8 inch or 10 inch diameter Finsterwalder wheels, mounted directly on the basetube.
