We have just received news that Gradient's design and test team have released the successor to the very popular Bi-Golden tandem.
Our new tandem glider Bi-Golden2 according to Gradient director, and test pilot Ondrej Dupal has improved the wing's manoeuvrability through using a special computer program while creating the prototypes.The result is that we now have a new wing where the break pressure is lower and more precise than in Gradient's predecessor model, which is what makes thermaling more comfortable and less tiring on the pilot. It has a slightly wider weight range (additional 10kg on the 42) and both a higher trim and top speed (achieved by long (8cm) trimmers). The glider also features the ability to' lock' big ears in place. Further, the long time proven Gradient construction method of achieving a low wing weight makes the new Bi-Golden2 easy to take off in any conditions. The direct and easy handling should suit those wanting to fly long cross country flights. Though the design has primarily been created to hit the target of professional tandem pilots who will really appreciate agile flight characteristics.
The new Bi-Golden2 is available in three standard colour combinations and comes up in a new visual design.
Test reports are here for the 42 (140-220kg) and the 39 (115-180kg). The Para2000 report is here.
