Description
Its performance is linked to speed gain and comfort on long flights.
In thermal conditions, its stable behaviour provides safety combined with a good soaring.
The Runner XC is available in 7 sizes.
For long distance flights with comfort and fuel economy we recommend flying up to the middle of the weight range.
For pilots looking for more agility and speed over fuel consumption we recommend flying close to the indicated maximum weight.
The Runner XC is the evolution of the Flexus and Auster GT and will fulfil the expectations of the most ambitious pilots with a minimum of 80 hours of experience.
The wing has a 3-4 line hybrid configuration since only such an arrangement allows full adjustment of profile geometry through trimmer operation.
After extensive tests and many long distance flights we concluded that the Runner XC increases engine durability, requires less fuel and motivates the pilot to cover longer distances and, if desired, to make really long cross country lights. The characteristics of the wing result in less engine RPM and vibration coming along with a considerable gain in comfort and perceptible less fatigue of the pilot.

Flight caracteristics
 |
With new construction technologies the weight, volume and drag (Vectran competition lines) have been reduced. |
|
The Dual command system makes it possible to operate wide and plane turns or steer and inclined ones; |
|
The risers are designed for easy use; |
|
Start and inflation are easy in little space; |
|
The landing is very easy with the prolonged flair effect moment thus helping with the stall, causing less impact when touching the ground; |
|
The use of Full Reflex Technology decreases the possibilty of collapse; |
|
The velocity increases Reflex Technology; |
New Tools
The ‘shark mouth’ (PBP) provides greater canopy aerodynamics and greater internal pressure over a wide range of attack angles. The leading edge is reinforced with battens (BT Technology), which significantly improve take-off and protects against deformation during high speed flight.
The new riser system provides excellent accelerated flight control. A higher speed range is achieved by using the speed system and trimmers.
The Runner XC has a 2D Dual Control system where the main control owns an auxiliary steering line linked to the external brakes. This system allows the pilot to differently control the wingtip and the center of the trailing edge, or both, so the pilot can adjust the progression of pulling the trailing edge to suit his preferences.
The main lines are covered and the upper and the gallery uncovered, ensuring higher performance.
The combination of different fabrics provides durability, lightness and dimensional stability to the design, thus ensuring an optimised combination throughout.
