R&D team comment: Standa Klikar, designer

We knew we wanted to create an elegant, safe and universal wing that would be suitable for the widest possible range of pilots. Our goal was to design a fun and enjoyable glider reliable enough to provide you with comfort even in turbulent air, as well as a glider that would be more than adequate for entry-level pilots. And that’s how Carancho came to life. Carancho is certified as an EN-A wing, because of its calm character. But with its parameters, optimized line plan, minimized air drag and outstanding performance, the glider has a real EN-B soul.
