The SKATE is more than a simple evolution of the NOOKY from last year. This completely new product is the result of the experience acquired with the earlier product. After almost one year of intense work and many prototypes, we now feel that the SKATE will be even more suited to the demands of the speedgliding pilots and the schools than the very successful predecessor.
The SKATE has a new profile, more gliding but less lift which allows it to glide parallel with the ground in all relief. With three risers and a trim system which allows easy and effective adjustments to the angle of attack the SKATE can be securely set to follow the inclination of the slope, so preventing any unwanted take off. This trim system allows also a bigger speed range.
