Outstanding features
Relax and enjoy the thermals
The EPSILON 8 demonstrates a very successful combination of pitch
and turn behaviour. Steering demands are answered directly and pre-
cisely. The EPSILON 8’s compact and stable canopy invites plenty of
confidence from the beginning. Even in challenging conditions pilots
feel calm and content, able to enjoy the thermals in a relaxed frame of
mind.
Long life thanks to a unique high quality light structure
Not just very light, but downright robust as well: the EPSILON 8 gets
attention with its unique choice of materials. Upper and lower surfaces
are made of the normal strong European Porcher cloth. Inside the wing
the latest technology from the OMEGA XALPS comes into play. Thus
the EPSILON 8 weighs almost as little as a light wing, and even so has
a long lifespan.
Modern technology delivers great performance
Many performance-enhancing new technologies are featured in the
EPSILON 8. It was designed as a three-liner but has only one gallery
level. This skimps on line metres and reduces drag. Precisely compu-
ted double-3D-shaping provides a super-smooth surface in the critical
nose area, and supports the correct shape of the real-life profile.
