Risk assumption
The use of the U-Turn AIRWOLF accommodates certain dangers of body injury or killing of the user of
this product or third. With the AIRWOLF use you agree, all well-known and unknown, to take and accept
probable and improbable injury risks on itself
The dangers connected with practice of this kind of sport can be reduced by the attention of the warning
references of the manual, as well as the care ordered in individual cases. This sports inherent risks can
be reduced to a large part, if one adheres both to the maintenance guidelines, which are listed in this
operating instruction, and by the healthy human understanding.

Especially in rough conditions the AIRWOLF demonstrates its class. The stability of the glider is backed
by the proven and tested Improved Stability Technology (IST) with V-rips and elaborate profi le guid-
ance. Thus the high performance is not achieved through a particularly distinctive feature of the glider,
but is based on plenitude of design features and characteristics, which make the AIRWOLF a highly bal-
anced glider – a real racehorse but with no hectic pace and with no air and graces.
The PPNplus system provides further benefi ts: As the material is not sensitive to bending, the profi le
nose might retain its form for a glider lifetime, if carefully handled. In many years’ time, the AIRWOLF will
still have excellent take-off qualities. If ever a synthetic rod is bent or defective, it can be easily replaced.
Without the former Mylar reinforcements, the weight of the canopy has been noticeably reduced, a fact
which provides advantages for handling and feedback.
Fine-tuning was made amongst others by the test pilots Patrick Berod and Vincent Sprüngli. Therefore,
U-Turn customers can feel confi dent to purchase an absolutely perfected and well-engineered wing. The
AIRWOLF is made of high quality NCV cloth, Liros lines and is available in attractive colour combinations.
The AIRWOLF is available in fi ve sizes ranging from XS to XL (Certifi ed for sizes S, M + L).
