Congratulations

Congratulations!

Welcome you in our circle of TEAM DAVINCI.

The OPERA has been designed for top level competitors and expert pilots.

This glider is a unique concept. Despite of impressive AR of 7.8 and lots of cells (128) this

glider is still user-friendly for its category. It has amazing stability, even in accelerated

flight, and it's easy to control, allowing its pilot to concentrate on tactics. There's plenty of

innovations and know-hows packed into this flying machine with impressive look and very

sophisticated design.

This manual will help you to get all information about your glider. We strongly

recommend that you read this manual carefully in order to be aware of any general

limitations, performance characteristics, take off and flight characteristics, landing

procedures, dealing with emergency situations and general maintenance.

Don’t

hesitate to contact us or your local dealer, if you have any question.

You can find the latest news from our home page www.flydavinci.com

Happy flying
