Independence Cruiser 4 (LTF/EN A)
The beginner's glider
The Independence cruiser 4 paraglider is used in our school (Axis) for training and has proved to be an excellent start for many students. I have to say I really enjoy my demo flights now when I can take this wing out and perform as well as higher classed wings and have a huge amount of fun thermalling and soaring it.
The new beginner's wing Independence Cruiser4 - Less weight and considerably enhanced gliding performance compared to the previous model. The beginner's series Cruiser has been popular for years and now has been revised for the third time in order to let it start the new season with improved features.
The independence test pilots once again have focused on even small details: as demanded by the latest trends, they reduced the weight, so that the Independence Cruiser4 at size S and 26m² surface weighs only 5.0kg.
Even though we didn't save on anything when building Independence Cruiser4. Especially regarding the performance - by slightly raising the stretching to 4.77 a distinct improvement of the gliding performance has been achieved. Cruiser4 is classified LTF/EN A, nevertheless, it is everything else but boring.
A well-balanced and smooth handling, that transforms every little steering pulse without any surprises into bank and turning radius, and naturally outstanding take-off characteristics describe this glider. Cruiser4 behaves confident at strong thermals but sensitive in weak thermals.
One of the features of Cruiser4 is its suitability as paramotor wing. By assembling the optionally available hybrid raiser, Cruiser4 is an excellent paramotor wing for up to 170 kg.
A perfect companion for the practice slope, long thermal flights, first distance flights as well as for paramotor use.
