and experienced recreational pilots. By combining a distinctive new back-curved
shape, diagonal ribs and advanced airfoil Edel have met the very specific design
criteria for a tandem glider.
The Prime has an easy inflation, launch and handling characteristics conveys
a confident feeling from the beginning. The control in the turn is very effective
and combined with a low sink rate, so the Prime thermals efficiently. The Prime's
large speed range enables easy launch and landing, whilst delivering speed and
glide ratio beats the actual performance gliders.
The Prime is extremely stable; closures are rare and open spontaneously allowing
both, pilot and passenger to enjoy stress free flying. Double your pleasure
