But its also a floater in calm winds and keeps the forgiving handling in all conditions. There are absolutely no hidden secrets with it, it will most likely be your all time favourite.

The prototypes have been flown with 1.6 kilos of ballast in severe conditions. Those are also tested in Dynamic Soaring.

Fully aerobatic of course, but the essence of the Predator is the speed.

This is important in competitions, but also gives you the very best performance while you just want to relax with it, or perhaps just go bananas.

It picks up speed very fast, and has a lot of energy retention.

Flight characteristics are forgiven, but it has a tremendous speed range.

Wings and fuselage are painted in high gloss moulds, and have a long lasting hard finish. Wings have a 40 mm spar made of Herex, and the wings are made with standard, carbon light and carbon strong version.

Materials all over are the best available as the strength and finish.

The Predator is a highly sophisticated slope-racer, specially designed for F3F. It is designed by Gudmund Malones. It has been developed over a period of 18 months to get the best performance possible, and the goal was to offer a top class glider, and yet be affordable.
