PLUTO

High stability, great performance, easy handling, high quality - what else can you wish for?
The Pluto has everything that you need to progress safely through the first years of your flying career.
The Pluto is a glider for recreational pilots who want to be relaxed and safe in the air and is also ideal for enthusiastic and talented beginners, or pilots moving up from a DHV 1 wing who still crave security with EN B performance.
The Pluto's combination of performance with security can be relied on in all situations and is sufficient for a new pilots’ first years of progression. Even if you plan to fly regularly and improve quickly, you won’t outgrow the Pluto too soon.
Launching the Pluto is easy as the wing has no tendency to over-fly the pilot, it is also excellent to tow-launch.
Feedback is comfortable, allowing new pilots to learn from the air with every flight.

Pluto has a relatively high-curve profile for a glider in its class that provides for great performance, quick turning ability and a high degree of safety.
Diagonal reinforcement is used between the ribs, allowing fewer attachment points and so less lines and less drag. A specially constructed Differential Speed System (DDS) helps to use speed effectively -up to 50 km/h on full speed, (this is the same system as used on Vega gliders) Split A-risers allow for easier identification of lines for big ears.

AXISpara continue to use a proven Porcher Marine Skytex (9017 40 g/m2) cloth with water repellent finish for the sail & profile ribs. This carefully chosen cloth ensures the optimum balance of durability, lasting performance and strength.
