Eagle 2 Eagle 2

(made in 1977)

This glider is intended for the more experienced pilot, but is still very easy to fly and has no nasty characteristics. The unusual cambered keel pocket gives the sail a graduated dihedral effect across its chord, which helps to give good stability and light positive control. The glider has three deflexers, folding A frame, reversible rigging for seated or prone flight. Quite a few of this model have been sold in small and medium sizes.
