Designers thoughts

Our  design  goal  from  the  beginning  of  this 
project  was  to  make  an  easy,  fun  flying  cross 
country glider that would satisfy the needs of a 
broad range of pilots. As always, we were trying 
to make a better and higher performance glider 
than  available  on  the  market.  This  glider  is  no 
exception, as we took great care of both aspects 
throughout the whole development process. So 
while testing and improving the glider for safety 
and ease of flying, we were always comparing it to other gliders 
and we must say that we are really happy with the results.

Who is this glider for

This wing is a high performance EN-B, LTF-B certified glider 
intended for intermediate to advanced pilots that want safety and 
high performance in its class. Intermediate pilots may find this 
glider great for the progression of their piloting XC skills for years, 
while experienced pilots will enjoy the comfort of safety and 
performance on long cross country flights even in stronger air.

The pilot of this wing should be comfortable with the basic active 
flying technique of controlling a glider in active air, naturally 
preventing pitch or roll movements. As with any glider, we 
recommend constantly improving your basic and advanced flying 

skills.

Certification

The ROOK has passed the European EN-B certification for all 
commercially available sizes. The homologation results are 

enclosed at the end of this manual.
