All the details
«Easy Connect System»
The risers have a new «Easy Connect System» which makes it simple
and quick to connect them to the harness. Concept and colour mini-
mize the risk of clipping in with risers twisted or on the wrong side.
«Quick Snap»
The EPSILON 8 has split A-risers for trouble-free big ears. Before take-
off the divided A-risers are held together by magnets. This simplifies
takeoff handling, and during takeoff they separate themselves for nor-
mal flight.
«Smart Sail System»
The «Smart Sail System» aligns the weave of the fabric around the air
intakes with the local tension vector. Specially impregnated robust
cloth at this highly loaded place extends the glider’s life.
Extended weight range
On top of its recommended weight range the EPSILON 8 has another
15 kg added on, but at these weights the wing remains in the EN/LTF B
category. This significantly widens the glider’s area of use.
ADVANCE Standards
Distinctive winglets have been reducing induced drag ( vortex-ef-
fect ) on ADVANCE wings for 25 years. Like all ADVANCE models the
EPSILON 8 has swivels on the brake lines and comes with different
sized brake handles, to suit the glider size. At the risers the brake lines
run through ceramic rings.
