is the most sophisticated, multitask 15 m, electric self-launching GP GLIDER to date, designed and developed fully in-house. Its design represents natural evolution of flawless 13,5 m wingspan GP 14 VELO platform, utilizing very similar, sleek fuselages available in two sizes – REGULAR and SPORT. The former is pilot’s comfort oriented and can accommodate individuals up to 200 cm (6’7”) tall and 115 kg (254 lb) heavy.
The latter is tighter thus more performance focused. The wing and tailplane are newly optimized designs and are also interchangeable with 13,5 m set derived from GP 14 VELO. The glider benefits from the company’s latest aerodynamic research and use of carbon-epoxy composite technologies, as well as carbon-aluminium-steel hybrid mechanical systems. This combined with very modern and attractive design and premium build quality results in comprehensive set of talents and features the motor glider offers, accompanied by excellent thermalling and glide performance.
