U-Turn ALPINE PEAK
U-Turn ALPINE PEAK (LTF 1)If the ALPINE PEAK were a top model, it would no longer be allowed on the catwalk, since the very lightweight ones are no longer welcome there. But sometimes less is more, and the ALPINE PEAK is a perfect example. This new lightweight by U-Turn with DHV-1 classification doesn't have an ounce too much on the V-ribs. The glider in the XS-version weighs a total of 3,9 kilograms - ideal proportions.More information on the U-Turn site. |

U-Turn OBSESSION II
U-Turn OBSESSION II (LTF 1-2)Terrific performance and security are united in the OBSESSION II. The completely newly developed profile with a strong ascending force provides for its high performance.

It was modified for the OBSESSION II in such a way that on the one hand the security of the 1-2 level was reached and on the other hand as much speed and gliding performance as possible was brought into this glider's class.More information on the U-Turn site. |

U-Turn AIR FORCE
U-Turn AIR FORCE (no LTF)The competition glider of U-Turn is the AIR FORCE – and to associate it with number one is no chance. The AIR FORCE looks with its aspect ratio of 7,4 very spectacular – and flies very spectacular as well. But for all that it is a very stable canopy. You could call it a certain basic-good-naturedness. Very high performance and stability simultaneously – U-Turn reached this goal with a double-b-line-fixation and a new b-band that is running over the whole wingspan. This is the reason why this canopy does not bend or twist that much in thermal as you could expect regarding the aspect ratio.More information on the U-Turn site. |

U-Turn IQ4
U-Turn IQ4With the IQ4 U-Turn now offers a well-engineered allround-harness, that although tightly proportions and little weight offers fully protection at all times. This is possible due to the combination of two safety systems. The IQ4 posesses a ram pressure airbag as well as a foam protector. Each component meets on its own the demanding requirements of the DHV tests – together they offer huge safety reserves. In brief: The IQ4 is a very convenient "safety-first"-harness, that nevertheless fits with the demands of very actively flying pilots.More information on the U-Turn site. |
