AIR DESIGN VOLT 4 S (80-92)
Air Design VOLT 4 S (80-92) After the Volt 3 with its 3-line design, and the new change in the EN-C protocols, AIR DESIGN released the first real 2-liner, C-rated glider. The VOLT 4 used the excellent Porcher Skytex 27 classic II on top and bottom. The lines used on top: Edelrid 8000/U-070, 090, 9200-035 with middle Lines: Edelrid 8000/U-130, 190. The Main Lines: Edelrid 8000/U-190, 230, 280, 360. This choice of a very different line layout with the skinnies on the brakes and on the rear B attachment points screams for performance! Flying different C gliders over the years made me a bit feel suspicious about a 2 line design…I thought in my pragmatic head that manufacturers will release a 2 line design for marketing purposes and in my hard-headed mind, imagined that in strong air it would be quite snaky and probably difficult to maintain a 6.5 AR with C certification… Hmmmmm, I was TOTALLY wrong…And still learning… I reached the tak...
