COSY 2 HF 

1. 

CHARACTERISTICS

 

1.1   

WHO IS IT DESIGNED FOR? 

The COSY 2 HF has been designed for cross country pilots wanCng to open the door to the world of cross 
country  and  for  those  pilots  seeking  to  improve  their  performance  in  the  Grand  Touring  Class  without 
compromising safety. 

1.2   

CERTIFICATION 

The COSY 2 HF has successfully achieved the European EN/LTF cerCficaCon. This test was carried out in the 
Swiss Air-Turquoise laboratories in Switzerland.

 

All  the  commercially  available  sizes  passed  every  required  test  with  excellent  results  and  the  COSY  2  HF 
received EN A / LTF A cerCficaCon for all sizes.  

The COSY 2 HF passed the essenCal load test of 8g without experiencing any problems. 

We recommend paying special a[enCon on the flight test report made by the cerCficaCon laboratory, and 
specially a[enCon to the test pilot comments (Point 25 on the flight test report). 
On the flight test report there is all necessary informaCon to know how the new paraglider will react on 
each manoeuvre tested. 
It is important to take into account that each size can have a different reacCon on the same manoeuvre. 
Furthermore, the same size on maximum load o minimum load can experiment a different behaviour. 

Check the cerCficaCon results and figures on the last pages of this manual or at www.WAY.com 

1.3   

IN-FLIGHT BEHAVIOUR 

With progressive, predictable and efficient handling the COSY 2 HF effecCvely reads the air mass, seeking 
out and coring thermals with efficiency and ease. The COSY 2 HF remains agile, light and predictable in all 
condiCons of flight and behaves impeccably during turbulence. 

1.4   

ASSEMBLY, MATERIALS 

The LACY 2 has all the technological innovaCons as used on other WAY gliders. Furthermore it is full of small 
details desCned to enhance the pilots’ comfort and to improve the performance of the SLE, RAM, DRS and 
3 line profile. 

The  use  of  the  SLE  (Structured  Leading  Edge)  allows  reinforcement  of  the  leading  edge  prevenCng  any 
deformaCon during turbulence. The airflow is also vastly improved over the enCre front span of the glider. 

The RAM AIR INTAKE technology presents an internal posiConing for the air entrance to allow an opCmal 
maintenance of the internal pressure as well as an improving of the laminar flow on intrados. What’s the 
result? 
Gaining  turbulent  air  absorpCon  in  the  leading  edge,  more  consistent  at  every  speed  and  a  be[er 
performance while assuring maximum security.
