Relax
RELAX is the classical Dhv 1 Fun hang glider expressly designed for all pilots, who wish to have a performing hang glider and at the same time light and easy to handle. It is suitable for beginner pilots as well as for those who have always flown performing (and heavy) machines and who wish to fly again with a lighter and simpler hang glider. It is very lightweight and easy to handle, suitable also for teaching (the model Relax 16 is just 23 kg =46.5 lb)
It is stable and much easier to pilot, compared to our old Mars, reassuring the beginner pilot during the first high flights. An accurate finishing, and a modern design: mylar reinforcement on the leading edge and a profiled nose cap, give good intermediate characteristics to the glider in order to satisfy also medium-expert pilots RELAX is the right choice to enjoy the flight for both beginners and medium-expert pilots.
