STING 3
Design Features
Classed as our "recreational" glider the Sting
3 is for the pilot that desires good performance
with exceptional climb and a glider that is still
very easy to launch and land.
Flying the new Sting 3, the things that
stand out about the flying characteristics are:
The very much improved glide performance.
Ease of steering with the VG on.
Great handling at low speed and maintaining manoeuvrability
& controllability making it a very nimble
yet stable glider to climb in thermals.
The Sting 3 has an increased range of travel
on the VG system. Landing the Sting is fun, with
great low speed handling authority right up to
an easy flare and touch down.
The Sting 3 has a new luff curve at the heart
of the design meaning that the sail has been entirely
redesigned. Looking at the sail, the most recognisable
difference is the undersurface layout and the
increased amount of undersurface, particularly
at the tips to improve the high speed glide performance.
The Sting is constructed using 7075 airframe,
fitted with faired king post, downtubes and speed
bar as standard. The Sting includes a VG system
as standard.
