New Features
Using the Easy-Fix you can secure the risers when packing the glider and eliminating the tangling of
lines in the risers. Every time you get to launch leave out and your lay out is hassle free, when folding
your glider at the end of each fl ight: you will love Easy-Fix. Last but not least are the Dirt-Outs which ease
the eff ort of removing dirt or leave out of the canopy.
In the literal sense, the U-Turn ALPINE PEAK 2 is not only setting the bar as far as safety is concerned, it is
introducing a paradigm shift in glider design. Altough the whole design process was primarily focussed
on safety, Ernst Strobl managed to design a piece of sports equipment, whose characteristics guarantee
untroubled fun.

Important:
Having the necessary level of experience can never substitute the need to familiarize your-
self with the glider before leaving the ground. Please carefully read the handbook and take advantage
of the support from your fl ight school, or U-Turn directly for that matter.
Please always remember that aviation can be potentially dangerous and your safety is in your own
hands. We strongly encourage you to fl y conservatively; this includes the judgement concerning condi-
tions as well as the choice you make in fl ight.
