SUPAIR - BIRDY

INSERTED IN THE RANGE BETWEEN THE EONA 3 AND THE LEAF 2 LIGHT, THE BIRDY IS THE “SWISS ARMY KNIFE” MADE IN SUPAIR.

ILS EN PARLENT :

“I had the chance to try out this magnificent wing for a short two-day bivouac flight from Annecy to Les Bauges. The Birdy directly blew me away. There is little air and yet the glider rises on its own and does not overtake me .Three steps and I’m already in the air. I’m used to flying more technical gliders. Now I feel like I’m rediscovering the paragliding of my early days with the performance and the speed… it’s crazy! The conditions are quite strong but the glider remains ultra quiet, I am super serene. I spend most of the early part of the flight taking photos and videos. I am not in active flight mode and yet the glider is doing its job. My friends have taken off a few minutes before me and I have to catch up with them. I push the speedbar and I’m surprised to see that I don’t degrade too much. It’s really not bad. In thermals it’s very easy. The glider doesn’t shoot, the turn is very intuitive and the brake is really soft. In the very small I am unbeatable with this new toy. It turns in place and I can really centre the lift. We cross the lake and head for the Roc des Boeufs. It’s just crazy to have such an easy glider with really good performance. We spend the afternoon walking around the massif and decide to land on a summit at the end of the day. The approach is easy and the low speeds very safe. I landed like a flower on a tiny piece of grass. It would have been much more technical with my competition glider. In the evening I fall asleep by the fire and we fly back the next day in the first thermals that come out on the East faces.This wing seems to me to be ideal for pilots who are looking for a safe compromise but who want to have some great flights. It’s a great machine, with great potential for great adventures and offers unprecedented passive safety and tranquillity”
