AXIS 5 – top of its class!It's easy to get underway - with the AXIS 5Your first flight: the feeling of suspense before you launch, looking straight ahead, full of expectation. Then you begin to run, hearing the rustle of the glider and feeling the resistance from the wind, the glider rises, you pull down on the brakes, one more step and then... a feeling of weightlessness – you're flying! The adrenaline is racing through your body as you gently glide away. Nobody ever forgets their first flight: the moment when you take off, the butterflies in your stomach, the feeling of overcoming gravity and floating through the air like a bird.You will always remember your first flight – with the AXIS 5Pure flying enjoyment, from the very first moment – that's what the AXIS 5 offers. For beginners, flying enjoyment means an easy launch, simple handling, a good glide and maximum passive safety. It's a bonus that there's a good amount of sportiness there as well. It may have forgiving characteristics, but the AXIS 5 is much more than a pure beginner glider with EN-A classification. Even pilots who have finished their training who would like to fly cross-country with a maximum of passive safety will really enjoy flying the AXIS 5.A closer lookThe AXIS 5 offers a whole range of important innovations, such as:the canopy rises even better when inflatinghigher trim and max speedhigher canopy stability over the whole speed range Geschwindigkeitsbereichbetter glideit is even more well-balancedsmaller pack sizebetter agility at the same damping around the roll and pitch axesuse of flex sticks to give better strength of form in the leading edge area.  AXIS 5 – pleasing to the eye as wellA glider that flies well should look good too.
