FALCON 4 TANDEM

The Falcon 4 Tandem is our glider designed to make the 2-passenger flight possible, featuring stiffer and lighter 7075-T6 leading edge spars, With the Falcon 4 Tandem can be used in aerotow and foot-launch operations and has been evaluated and endorsed by top professionals from Lookout Mountain Flight Park to Rio de Janeiro.

“After about 200 flights on it, I must state: It’s the best tandem glider ever! Lighter built than the F3T it’s superior to the previous version in all aspects, performing outstandingly with heavy loads at foot launching and landing. Thanks Steven Pearson!” -Konrad Heilman, Rio Hang Gliding

“You’ll fall in love with it very quickly. Lighter, stiffer 3 part leading edge, turns flatter and lighter bar pressure. Goes up like a rocket.” -Ian Clark, Rio Hang Gliding

The Falcon 4 Tandem has an especially robust and wide control bar that comfortably accommodates the instructor and student and a heavy duty trailing edge panel with our strongest and most durable woven fabric 240MT. The airframe and sail design combine to produce a glider with exceptional load carrying capacity, that slows down extremely well and retains excellent handling qualities across a hook in weight range from 185 lbs to 550 lbs.
