same time endowing the interior of the wing with a higher internal pressure and creating
calculated zones of greater longitudinal tension, very important for increasing resistance
to tucks (above all frontal collapses).
The bantoo’s new profile gives highly elevated security and performance, as well as a
turning ability that is surprisingly efficient.
The end result is a tandem that inflates quickly and easily during launch and is exceptio-
nally stable and solid during the take-off run, giving great protection against having to
abort launches and compromising the safety of yourself and your passenger.
During launch the bantoo gives an exceptional degree of control, allowing the pilot to
easily make precise corrections during the take-off run. Once airborne, the bantoo’s
superb feedback and responsive handling allows one to make the most of even the sma-
llest thermals.
When the time comes to land, the exquisite handling characteristics and precision of the
bantoo
serve as another great guarantee of safety since you can first of all guide your-
self more precisely into exactly the spot you wanted to land in, confident that in the final
moment, when you want to flare, you will be able to take advantage of the wings superb
energy conversion, landing both you and your passenger easy and safety each time.
> construction and materials
Our primary concern is always keeping to the highest quality standards of materials and
construction, to impress the pilots and so guarantee our future. For this reason, we never
cut any corners when it comes to building in quality. All of the bantoo’s seams are
internal, to help avoid stitching snags and any kind deterioration that might deform the
aerodynamics of the wing or reduce its longevity.
--cloth
The upper and lower panels are
made with 45 gr. Porcher Marine
Skytex nylon. The ribs are made
with stronger nylon of to prevent
aerofoil deformation, even after
several years of intensive use. Rib
(cell wall) reinforcements are made
of Dacron 310 &180 gr. Line
attachment points are made of
polyester.
--lines
The lines are of the highest quality
and varying diameters, depending
on which area of the glider they
are in, but always of a diameter
greater than a solo glider, capable
of withstanding a force up to eight
times the maximum load. The inner
core is super aramid and the outer
sheath polyester to protect against
general wear and tear and UV.
