BGD Wasp Motor
$3,500.00
The Wasp is designed for the PPG pilot who wants to continue to progress after leaving flight school and the recreational PPG pilot looking for a reliable wing that uses the latest technology.
Description
Several performance-enhancing design features have been incorporated in the glider giving better stability and glider cleanliness. The Wasp offers outstanding launch characteristics and responsive handling. Double hang points on the risers mean all harnesses (high and low hang point) are suitable. Positioned on the safer end of the EN/LTF-B range and DGAC, the Wasp is a rock-solid glider that everyone will feel comfortable flying.
BRUCE’S NOTES
The Wasp profits from our latest evolution in glider design. The wings structure is clean and simple. The Cord Cut Billow technology really enhances stability and performance on this glider. Our Optimized Line Layout system yields a total line length of just 328m on the M size providing less drag and better flying. We have used a Plastic Reinforced Leading Edge and Elliptic cell openings give the Wasp a clean nose and progressive, smooth collapse recovery. Bruce Goldsmith’s gliders have been known for having great handling, the Wasp is no exception.

The trimmers on the paramotor risers can be opened up for extra speed during powered flight. They should remain closed for free-flight, to comply with the EN-A certification.
