简介

Master your stalls, spins, SATs and Heli then move onto the transitions, like Spin to Heli, SAT to Heli. Dance, Misty and Mactwist your way around the sky and then easily thermal back up to do it all again.

EPIC FREESTYLE can do the manoeuvres and the transitions but its real beauty, and the reason instructors love it so much, is that it’s really forgiving. It will let you explore and master all these things, but will save your butt if you get the timing a bit wrong. It looks after you by behaving like any other EN-B if you get your timings wrong, and stops shooting before it goes too far.

科技

渐进式的稳定性

我们设计的伞全部都采用渐进式的稳定性,帮助飞行员及时感知颠簸并避开。这让飞行变得更加安全、更加舒适。

波浪形前缘剪切(CCB)

波浪形前缘剪切技术被用来改善伞的形状摩擦,提升伞的稳定性及整体综合性能。上翼面前端这两条延翼弦方向的缝合,能够很好地适应伞充气时因“球面效应”而产生的表面“鼓起”。平板缝合的气室在满足翼形时,这种“鼓起”会在翼肋处需要高达5cm的多余布料。波浪形前缘剪切技术利用3D塑形,巧妙吸收掉多余布料,极大地减少翼肋缝合处的褶皱,有效提升翼肋翼形及稳定性。

让人眼界大开的安全性

会“交流”的伞更安全。更安全的伞会让飞行员表现更好。表现更好的飞行员会飞得更远。飞得更远的飞行员会更开心。因此,让人大开眼界的安全性能够让飞行员们更开心。

无可挑剔的螺旋表现

这款伞的螺旋表现让人惊叹——“螺旋锁死”对低展弦比的初级伞而言可能是个问题,但我们采用不同的倾角和下沉率,对伞进行了广泛的螺旋测试,从来没有一次能够将螺旋“锁死”!这对教学用伞而言极不寻常,是一个额外的安全保障。

快速磁锁

快速磁锁是轻松连接刹车和组带的一个轻质而紧凑的附件。内部锁定系统和小磁块一起将刹车手柄在各个方向都锁定住,除了往下朝向飞行员的方向。这个独特的设计意味着在地面控伞、叠伞或练习科目时,刹车手柄都不易脱落。快速磁锁系统为飞行员轻松化解按扣和磁铁所带来的诸多烦恼。

三指对角支撑

横穿整个翼面的弦长,我们设计了穿过翼肋孔的三片式对角支撑。这一设计能够避免布料从翼肋上发生偏斜,即使在拉刹车时伞也更加坚固,从而让伞拥有更高的结构整体性。这一点在伞的后缘上显得尤其重要,因为后缘的翼形更薄,较浅的对角支撑结构承受着更高的载荷。

重量优化的翼肋

在保持翼肋强度和刚度的同时,我们去掉了非必要的材料使用。这意味着,在不增加额外成本,也不妥协强度的前提下,让伞变得更轻盈。孔的位置和大小取决于局部翼面所承受的载荷,我们最新的软件可以对此进行精准测算。

Versatile ACRO and XC

Designed for to Acro and SIV with equal XC potential, the Epic Freestyle is the ultimate wing for pilots wanting to progress their glider control with an easy all-rounder.

目标群体

The EPIC FREESTYLE is the wild child of the original Epic, much loved by acro and SIV instructors as the perfect wing to learn freestyle, acro manoeuvres and fly XC on. We brought it back with bells on. No shrinking violet, it’s feisty in pink and is for all pilots looking for a safe, forgiving and energetic wing to cut their freestyle teeth on. It’s your new best mate, egging you on to be as wild as you dare but keeping you out of sticky situations. It likes you to think it’s a fearless devil, but inside it’s still a safe, versatile, and friendly “easy EN-B”.


设计师笔记

Like the original, the EPIC FREESTYLE is a safe and easy wing, with the 5.0 aspect ratio a sweet spot of safety and performance.

EPIC 2 or EPIC FREESTYLE – which to choose?

Both are certified EN B.
EPIC FREESTYLE: If your priority is to learn glider handling skills, SIV, freestyle and acro manoeuvres. Of course you can site-fly, thermal and go XC too.

EPIC 2: is honed more for XC, tuned for performance with slightly more refined handling and rear-riser steering. If XC is your priority, this is your ride. You can do SIV and freestyle manoeuvres too.

We always recommend you fly in the weight range. Some instructors recommend being slightly over the weight range if you have mastered all the SIV and acro basics to progress on to the more complex manoeuvres. Please speak to your instructor.
