Flight Gliders

We are excited to present the two gems available for High Tech glider flight: ãGKXä and ãJBWä.

Both gliders have in common the fact that they are of a new generation of gliders with retractable engines for launching, which makes them highly flexible in terms of the timing required for flying and the choice of landscape and sky scape to be explored, and they are two seaters.

High performance competition glider coming into land
DG 500 M alias "GKX"
This is the ultimate competition glider. It is usually not available for joy flight gliding. Its main feature is a retractable engine for self-launching; once retracted in flight, this glider is completely silent.

With a 22 meter wingspan and built in carbon fibre, it is a fantastic performer, ideal to experience advanced soaring, cross country flight and aerobatics.

Once on board, you will be delighted to feel how comfortable it is to be sitting in this "state of the art" aircraft and it will be just the beginning; "GKX" is able to perform the most amazing feats once soaring the skies.

Another completed and satisfying joy flight
ASK 21 MI alias "JBW"

The latest glider to join our fleet, it is made with carbon fibres and the most advanced materials: this is a Top technology glider.

It was built in 2006, arrived brand new to our premises and had its first flight in November 2006 which makes it the very first one of its kind in Australia, second in the WORLD!

Equipped with the latest high tech instruments, computer and options, it is a truly wonderful glider in flight. Only the prop will be extracted from the fuselage, which will provide us with a low noise level during the engine time needed for the launch.

Once the chosen altitude is reached, the engine is turned off, the prop retracted and the plane becomes a pure glider. Then the serious sensations can start· NOTHING BUT THE BEST!!
