Firebird Spider - Fun - DHV 1-2

The Firebird Spider is a safe performance and fun intermediate glider. It is agile, safe and stable.

The swept-back planform gives narrow turn radius and improved slow flight characteristics while full diagonal ribs and additional E lines result in a very stable profile. The "H" tech design of the Spider reduces the number of lines to give good glide even when accelerated, so the Spider delivers big gains in performance without compromising safety, conforming to the new DHV requirements.

Firebird have optimized safety so you can concentrate on your flying. The characteristic swept-back planform prevents locked spirals and greatly reduces the risk of cravats. The Spider also guarantees for moderate reactions even on big asymmetric deflations, as certified by the new tougher DHV regulations.

The handling of the new Spider is direct and precise, so you can fly a long time without getting tired. Also the fine handling generates a secure feel in thermals and is great fun when flying freestyle.

In addition to that the Spider sets new standards in quality and innovations. It is produced with Laser Cut Technology in the new elaborate Firebird design and equipped with Speed Loops that can hold 30% more load and provide aerodynamic advantages. Moreover Dirt Holes for convenient maintenance of your glider, Edge Protect: Edge reinforcement to protect the most exposed parts of the glider and new comfort risers make the Spider a real high-quality product allowing us to be the only producer worldwide offering a 5-year-warranty.
