LACY 2 HF 

1. 

CHARACTERISTICS

 

1.1   

WHO IS IT DESIGNED FOR? 

The LACY 2 HF has been designed for cross country pilots wanBng 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 LACY 2 HF has successfully achieved the European EN/LTF cerBficaBon. 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  LACY  2  HF 
received EN A / LTF A cerBficaBon for all sizes.  

The LACY 2 HF passed the essenBal load test of 8g without experiencing any problems. 

We recommend paying special aZenBon on the flight test report made by the cerBficaBon laboratory, and 
specially aZenBon to the test pilot comments (Point 25 on the flight test report). 
On the flight test report there is all necessary informaBon 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 reacBon on the same manoeuvre. 
Furthermore, the same size on maximum load o minimum load can experiment a different behaviour. 

1.3   

IN-FLIGHT BEHAVIOUR 

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

1.4   

ASSEMBLY, MATERIALS 

The LACY 2 HF has all the technological innovaBons as used on other WAY gliders. Furthermore it is full of 
small details desBned 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  prevenBng  any 
deformaBon during turbulence. The airflow is also vastly improved over the enBre front span of the glider. 

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