The 1994 Klassic was the culmination of years of development through the K series range of gliders. Produced in 4 sizes-12, 13, 14 and 15 m sq. Since they appeared on John Pendry’s Klassic 14 at the first league of 1994, Airwave perfected the design of winglet that were available on ’95 Klassics and as a retro-fit for ’94 models. Made from composite materials the winglets weighed under 200 g.
The Klassic Custom Comp glider is to full competition specification. It is fully tuned and includes winglets, stronger trailing edge and cut down battens.
