Advance acoustic SIGMA 9, User Manual

Page: 6 / 48

The SIGMA 9 cross country intermediate excels in its maximum
performance and precision . The distinctly compact wing conveys
a feeling of well-inflated strength, especially when accelerated, and
flying in thermally active air . The legendary SIGMA series stands for
both tradition and progress . This ninth generation is again unmista-
kable in handling and design .
Performing
High performance you can use
Comprehensive SIGMA 9 performance is the result of extensive
analysis and perfect finish . The compact setup and high stability
allow its exceptional performance to be used over the complete
polar curve, even in difficult conditions . This means that you can
make the most of the SIGMA 9’s considerable potential to deliver
rewarding flights .
Light
Advantages of reduced weight
The SIGMA 9 is the lightest of its class . At only 4 .9 kg (25 size) it
gets close to being a light wing, thanks to the use of high quality
materials and sophisticated design . The SIGMA 9 can be packed
smaller, therefore easier to carry, but the reduced canopy weight
also has beneficial effects on takeoff behaviour, handling and
passive safety .
Legendary
Legendary handling
Ever since the first 1989 model the SIGMA has set the sport class
benchmark with its sporty and lively handling . The SIGMA 9 lives
up to the tradition . Turning is even more direct and precise, es-
pecially when centring a thermal at high angle of attack; and long
brake travel widens the pilot’s margin of safety .
