Epsilon 9 EN-B Advance of Switzerland have just released the new technology Epsilon 9 after over two years of constant development, dozens of prototypes and multiple consumer field test days. Certified as a regular EN-B in all sizes, the new glider is safe and easy to fly for all pilot levels, even well skilled new pilots straight out of school. The design is, as always from Advance, entirely new and not just a re-work of a previous model or de-tuned higher level wing. It features high end technology like internalised miniribs (for a smooth trailing edge), latest hybrid line layout (for reduced line drag) and low drag stabilos (to reduce wing tip vortices). The marked Epsilon 9 performance boost results from intensive development work and subsequent technology upgrades. The new design also has all the expected state-of-the-art features like Sliced Diagonals, Advanced Airscoop and Double 3D Shaping. New Products Epsilon 9
