Info
A clean-sheet redesign of our popular tandem glider, the Dual 3 delivers next-level performance, precision, and fun. Built for professional pilots and passionate privateers alike, it climbs and glides like a solo wing, yet retains that signature BGD ease and comfort in the air. With sharper handling, enhanced speed range and a lightweight, streamlined construction, the Dual 3 brings more zing for the pilot and more zen for the passenger.
It launches effortlessly, climbs in weak thermals, and handles with playful precision – this is a tandem that turns work into pleasure, and leisure into joy.

Designer's notes
This is not an upgrade – it's a brand-new wing. We started fresh with the DUAL 3, aiming to make a tandem that really feels like flying solo. The handling is crisp and direct. You can core thermals with ease, pull smooth wingovers, and even cobra launch if the mood takes you.
We worked a lot on the brake geometry – getting just the right amount of feedback and response so it’s intuitive and fun for the pilot while remaining super smooth and relaxing for the passenger. Thrill and chill!
We re-engineered the trimmers, too: they now have a full 16cm of direct travel (no more 2:1 ratio) and 25mm rollercam buckles with a neoprene cover. That means more usable speed, better handling in wind, and easy, fast adjustment.
By simplifying the construction we’ve made it lighter than the Dual 2 without compromising performance. The glide is better, the climb rate is impressive, and the overall experience is just... a joy.
This is our best tandem yet – a real pilot’s tandem that still pampers the passenger.
