At North Wing, our main design criteria is to offer wings that deliver easy handling, making them fun to fly. This spring, we have completely renovated and modernized our factory, and we have purchased material for 100 further Fexes.Īlso on the second hand market, our almost indestructable fun gliders are extremely popular and thus slow down the sales of new hang gliders. Falcon 4 Sport 2 U2 T2 Falcon 3 Tandem North Wing designs and manufactures quality hang gliders from the highest quality aircraft grade hardware and sailcloth.
Precisely because we do not do facelifts, our elaborately designed hang glider models are timeless, have excellent spare part availability, high resale value and are produced in quantities other manufacturers can only dream of!įor many years, we have been able to consistently achieve strong sales with our successful models Perfex, Funfex, Lightfex and Airfex, which is why we will continue to manufacture them without modification. So-called "new developments" are hence nothing more than facelifts, intended to make the customer believe he has bought the latest state-of-the-art model. Particularly in this segment, the past 30 years have not brought any substantial improvements with respect to safety, handling and flight performance. Today, we only build reasonably priced hang gliders for less ambitious pilots, i.e., "pleasure pilots". To use these properly the values must be compared side by side on. We have ceased the production of our high-performance model Speedfex.

"So, why would you consider a glider designed 30 years ago against one designed in 2012-2013? Because it manages to be lighter, has more glide, is more playful and just as forgiving as a Falcon.
