ADVANCE

IOTA 2 The Iota 2 from Advance has become the Iota DLS. This label (Durable Light Struc‐ture) now denotes the famous ‘semi light’ construction and will also be introduced into other wings, as an alternative to the ‘ULS’ (Ultra Light Structure) for this brand’s ultra‐light hike and fly wings. With an upper surface in Skytex 38/32, the high‐B, with 59 cells, comes in at a weight of 3.9‐4.9 kg. (3.75 kg with the lightweight risers).

WEIGHTLESS The ultralight Weightless harness with a rear fairing comes directly from the X‐Alps. There is a pocket under the seat in which you must put either the original backpack supplied with it, or the foam pad from the backpack. This combined with the foam bag underneath gives the shock absorbing values required for the certification to be valid. The reserve compartment is inte‐grated behind – this is unique in this weight category.

At Saint Hilaire the first examples were on display, but they were far from being ready to launch commercially.
