KEA
KEA is easy to fly – it is designed for a wide range of uses. The KEA (EN B/LTF B) is designed for pilots, who fly at least 30 hours per year and who are looking for a wing that combines ease of operation with fun handling, good performance, high safety and general versatility.
The KEA´s light materials and clever design result in a light wing that can be packed very small and delivers a high degree of passive safety. It will be the first choice for mountaineers, travelers and all pilots who love to fly light.
In flight the KEA shines with efficiency, homogeneity and pure pleasure. Its precise handling allows the pilot to feel the air and use the wing´s full potential without needing to take risks. The KEA provides comfortable pitch damping while being agile and precise – the perfect combination for long enjoyable flights; even if conditions are occasionally demanding.
The main distinctive features are:
- very low weight (3,3 kg in size M)
- exceptional performance in its class (8,8 glide ratio according to independent tests)
- good penetration into headwind
- typical SKY fun handling
- ample speed range for valley-crossings and serious alpine conditions
- high passive safety
- low bulk when packed thanks to Adiprene nose reinforcements instead of nylon rods
- easy to operate with gloves thanks to friendly 20mm wide risers and roomy brake handles
The KEA complements ideally with a REVERSE 3 harness and a SKY LITE reserve for the ultimate light gear.
Each glider is delivered with:
- T-shirt SKY TEAM
- USB flash drive with manual
