Too hot to fly straight on. The glider with the dynamic groove.
The Burn is a fantastic mixture between acro and freestyle glider. Despite the small surface area this glider is also great for flying thermals... let it BURN, baby! Dynamic SAT, Coconut, MC Twist, Tumbling - or simply flying thermals - freestyling has never been as much fun!
Features
The Burn is a glider that meets all demands of a freestyle pilot:
small surface area (18.3 sqm projected)
elegant silhouette (aspect ratio 5.7)
perfected for SAT manoeuvres
high trim speed
manageable extreme flight situations
very dynamic without disturbing roll or pitch tendency
freestyle optimized brake setup
Finish
The quality and materials used for the Burn meet the high Airwave standards.
Special features:
Reinforcements
The main and top lines and all important areas on the canopy are reinforced. 120kg Edelrid lines are used for the upper lines and 340kg Edelrid lines (normally used for tandem gliders) are used for the main lines. They are extremely strong.
Hybrid sail
This sail - that Airwave has tested for two years - includes Gelvenor (45g) as well as Porcher (39g). Gelvenor sail cloth is undoubtedly one of the longest lasting on the market. We use it in the front third of the canopy, as stronger forces and therefore most wear occur here. The lighter Porcher Marine cloth is used in the middle and back, so take-off is easy and total weight of the glider is reduced. We are sure to have found the perfect solution for combining durability and low weight.
Closed cells in wing tips
The outermost cells of the wing tips have closed cells to make the Burn very stable. The cells don't deflate as quickly and keep the wing open better, especially in dynamic SAT manoeuvres and helicopters.
Acro handles
These acro handles are soft and large, and give a perfect feedback to the canopy.
Suitable
The Burn is for ambitious acro and freestyle pilots, as well as pilots who want to fly competitions. Do you have questions about freestyle flying or want to know everything about our new freestyle glider Burn? Our acro- and tespilots will help you. Just contact the Airwave Freestyle Hotline.
