New EN B wing in development from Gradient

Gradient are busy preparing a new glider within its range. The Nevada is being positioned between the Golden3 and  the new season release Aspen4.  Gradient state that they are already at the stage of final testing. With the local weather getting better every day they are able to complete their final pre certification test flights in the real thermic conditions.  Feedback from these test are very positive  both in   thermic and  dynamic soaring flight, with very easy flying characteristics as expected of an planned EN B wing but also with a good high performance potential  gained through the use of the new Aspen 4 technology and the perfomance increasing DDsystem.

Gradient would like to be ready with sizes 24,26 and 28 in time for the  European spring, with the size 28 being nearly ready for EN B certification now.  We look forward to providing more information soon.
