Performance

The SuSi, size M, glides with a glide ratio of around 1:8. This is more than
sufficient for extensive thermal flights, as well as for traverses on XC-flights.
The strength of the SuSi is the thermalling behaviour in various conditions. It is
easy to climb the SuSi efficiently and without stress.

Target Group

The SuSi aims to appeal to beginners and recreational pilots in search for
maximum safety. The SuSi is the perfect glider to gain experience without
being overburdened.

Pilots requirements

The SuSi is our wing with the highest level of safety, so of course we don't
make any demands on the pilot's skills, but we would like to remind every pilot
of the importance of individual responsibility at this point.
Every pilot, who flies on their own has to be able to decide if their skills and
equipment is adequate for the respective conditions. The SuSi offers superior
safety but even on such a glider with maximum passive safety, misjudgements
may have serious consequences.
The best way to avoid misjudgements is a defensive approach to the sport.
Some times it makes sense to pass on a flight, instead of getting yourself into
conditions you cannot handle. Regular training improves your skills and
enables you to enjoy your flights, even in more difficult conditions.
Please consider these thoughts!
