Advance Epsilon 4: Discover Your Passion DHV 1-2 Large
The EPSILON series, from the «1» that arrived in 93 until today with the arrival of the «4», has surely marked the world of paragliding. It is the most popular glider in the ADVANCE range and probably one of the most distributed in the world. The 4th generation of EPSILON inherits all the knowledge ADVANCE has acquired over more than 15 years and should also meet a big world success. All gliders are made to be piloted, but some give a lot more pleasure and satisfaction than others. The EPSILON 4 is a real ADVANCE glider! It is a new ADVANCE, with a brilliant and high level of passive security; it will allow the occasional as well as the regular pilots to discover a playful and essential dimension of flying - ease of use, pleasure and security.

Airwave Bi-Boo: Tandem flying just got easier DHV 1-2
Being a Tandem pilot is a great responsibility. The passenger trusts the pilot with the most valued possession on earth: life itself. At every stage of the flight the pilot needs to make the right decisions that ensure this trust is rightly earned.
The first decision the tandem pilots must make is his choice of glider. He needs a wing that is very easy to launch, quickly takes to the air and is safe as well as responsive once in the air. The glider needs to be fast and efficient with the handling to enable the pilot put the wing exactly where he needs to go. The landing must have the flare to bring the pilot/passenger combination to a low speed stand up landing.
We have designed the Bi-boo to satisfy the most demanding of Tandem pilots in every part of the flight envelope.

Swing Arcus (polare) DHV 1-2 Large
The ARCUS was developed over several years since there was no pressure on SWING at this time to bring out a beginner glider. This means that the glider was continually optimised over a very long period of time by intensive test flights.
The ARCUS is still one of the highest performing and safest wings in its class, as it always was, which proves that the concept was years ahead of its time. The ARCUS will therefore still be included in our 2002 current product range. The concentrated work to develop a successor will of course be pursued intensively - but there will not be a quick solution.
The fascination for free flying reaches its current peak in the Swing ARCUS. Simplest launch behaviour, forgiving handling, a high safety margin and performance potential beyond its class come together in the ARCUS in a sensational combination. You set the limits!

Swing Mistral 3: Performance to share! DHV 1-2
The challenge SWING faced in developing the Mistral 3 DHV 1-2 glider was to create a glider with better performance than the Mistral 2 despite the more stringent DHV regulations. Numerous new designs with differences in the basic form and profile variations underwent computer simulation before the decision on the first prototype of the MISTRAL 3 was made. The best product from this series of tests was worked on over a long period of time before being ready for production and was released as the MISTRAL 3.br> The MISTRAL 3 combines new safety requirements in the DHV 1-2 category with outstanding climb and glide performance along with lively handling.
The dynamic design of the MISTRAL 3 emphasises this requirement.
Despite being performance-oriented, the MISTRAL 3 is very easy to launch.
The sedate flight behaviour of the MISTRAL 3 allows a wide range of pilots to exploit the full performance potential of this glider.The MISTRAL 3 responds directly to small control inputs which gives the glider very lively handling.
The light brake pressure allows pleasant turns in long thermal flights, but then increases progressively to offer high safety reserves.Despite high steering agility, the Mistral 3 has good dampening and very high stability in turbulence.
