Mount Beauty - Melbourne Cup Long Weekend 30 Oct to 2nd Nov The 2010 HG Spring Comp and Airborne Hang Gliding Open Day. Rick and Shane
Duncan from Airborne will be joining the fun at the Mt Beauty Airstrip this year
with 3 Revs and 2 Stings. We will also be offering Aerowtowing to endorsed
pilots from the Airstrip. REV NEWS Minor sail modifications and changes to tuning settings have seen further
handling and performance improvements. The Rev is a very competitive glider with
remarkable handling. It is very stable on tow with a wide flair envelope. New
for this season is the option of a Grey inlay mainsail, carbon Sprogs and Light
Weight Battens. We are working on a new Rev 14.2 and anticipate production early
2011
watch this space for more. More on Rev sail, battens and carbon sprog options The grey inlay mainsail enhances the look of the Rev while the carbon sprogs and
light weight battens improve performance. The carbon sprogs are much stiffer and
combined with the carbon transverse battens result in a rigid stability system.
The battens are made in two sections from 7075 tubing and provides a unique
batten, which is able to flatten out at the front section at VG on settings
whilst improving stiffness rear of the high point.
