Characteristics of the GTO
The
GTO
is a thoroughbred race screen. We recommend the
GTO
and wish to
provide only for competition pilots with extensive flying experience, the peak in-
route or competitions.
The
GTO
is flying straight up for a high performance remarkably enjoyable. Be no
delay, very direct handling for this class is new, and not only guarantees better
climbing in thermals, but also have total control in turbulence. This is further
reinforced by the excessively long control travel for this class: an unintended
oversteer in turmoil due to an extreme round out making it not an issue for more
experienced pilots. Back to the cranks and the first tax ranging 10 to 20 cm, up to
stall, it is then again almost 40 cm, to a standing round out for disposal.
The slightly larger proper motion of the cap in strong turbulence gives the pilots
more time to respond to the next discharge and to prevent deflation.
Through four levels of linen, lightweight, no rigid parts and the fair ground in
extreme form is very simple. About glide and speed you can write a lot of real
insight here is only directly compared with the competition, and this was always
convincing.
We have in numerous test flights trying to give the
GTO
a manageable extreme
flight, which is pretty well-done. But this should not obscure the fact that the
GTO
is a thoroughbred high performance, which will also be flown as such.
The
GTO
is not approved. Pilots must take into account the directives of their
respective country. In Germany and Austria is an additional BEP required.

Canopy
The cap of curvature of the
GTO
is very shallow compared to the competition, the
projected area is on the same form of resistance is greater and therefore the
