Since the World Cup 2014 our new keel has been a success. The
pilots are excited about the flying and the optimized coupling of the flap and V
- tail.

With the new keel with small fin, it was possible to reduce the sweep and twist.

Similarly, there is no up and down pitch when flying in thermals more non or low
swept gliders as well.

The lift distribution is optimal with the new geometry over a larger speed
range.

The external wing geometry has changed. The VRS external wing has brought a
significantly lower minimum sink rate, together with good maneuverability.

The circling flight characteristics are still stable and simple.

In practice, this means:

- lower stall speed, this allows easier launching and landing

- Smoother flight in thermals and at high speed

- lower minimum sink

- higher performance gliding in slow and fast flight

- no weight change compared to the ATOS VR by optimization of the materials used

Side by side flights have confirmed the improvement in handling and also the
performance difference

Available in the next few weeks. Attention: Should be in time for pilots who
would like to start next year with the VR.

Any VR VQ is convertible.
