In-flight
First of all, it is essential to note that the behavior of the wing changes depending on the size and
the wing loading. We recommend you to learn and reproduce these maneuvers under
professional supervision.
Acrobatic flight
Even though the Foxy is a freestyle wing, it is the last step before “pure” accro wings. Choosing to fly with the Foxy
means that you master stalls and wingovers under an EN-A glider and that you reached the limits of this category in
acrobatic flight.
Foxy is a complete freestyle wing. At the exception of the infinity tumbling, it takes you through every maneuver.
Thanks to its EN-B+ certification, it is an easy wing to keep improving freestyle. Thanks to its low aspect ratio, it reopens
easily after closures. Foxy’s behavior makes helicopter and SAT entries easy.
However, we recommend you to learn how to pilot these maneuvers and figures under the supervision of a professional
in an adapted environment.
Versatility
Versatility is a real strength of the Foxy.
Even though its first goal is to lead you through your freestyle
progression, its playful behavior will seduce pilots who are
looking for several sensations:
-
Waggas
-
Ground handling
-
Ski flying
-
Moderate/strong wind
Foxy’s limits only depend on you.
Accelerated flight
The Foxy is at ease in moderate and strong wind.
Therefore, a speed bar can be set up on the glider.
The speed bar can be used in strong wind or to speed
up (as example, during transition).
Speeded up, the wing goes through turbulences faster
but is more sensible to it. Closures are more massive
when the glider is accelerated.
In accelerated flight, give priority to piloting with rear
risers.
