Seedwings Europe Skyrunner

The 2012 Skyrunner is an efficient intermediate wing that succeeds the Spyder at Seedwings. Compared to the latter, it is both more efficient and more manageable. The sail has been reviewed, it is more pleasant to fly.

It has kept the ease of take-off and overdrive stretched and at full speed it is of great stability. Even tight to the maximum, the steering remains excellent while being very stable on trajectory and without tandency to make roll at the slightest turbulance as is often the case on most wings. On landing, the wing announces well the moment of the final push.

Seedwings Europe Crossover

A 2010 hang glider the Crossover 15 aerotowed well with light pitch making it easy to keep station behind the tug. It also had very good directional stability on tow. In flight it was a bit stiff in roll and the light pitch made it a bit less harmonized in the two axises than other gliders. It landed quite fast.
