DragonFly (16m) - Forest Green/Black/Marine Blue
DragonFly (16m) - Forest Green/Black/Marine Blue
The 16m DragonFly (Forest Green/Black/Marine Blue) is a stable and versatile hybrid speed wing, designed for pilots of all skill levels. It is the perfect wing to launch your speed flying career, and is equally at home soaring a dynamic coastal cliff or carving a mountain descent.
Building on the legacy of the Firefly series, the DragonFly is founded on a simple principle: Maximum stability, with great efficiency for its class. A totally new profile has yielded improvements throughout.
The Launch
The DragonFly launch is light and immediate in no wind conditions, and forgiving in high wind. Thanks to re-positioned cell openings and the new profile, it is even better suited to speed flying instruction and beginner use.
Handling
More dynamic, yet roll stable and forgiving, it has a direct and predictable feel in the brakes. The roll rate feels responsive, but is never surprising. The DragonFly’s high level of passive safety is not only found in collapse resistance, but also in the fun yet forgiving handling.
Glide Performance & Trim Range
Thanks to an increased trim range, the DragonFly’s glide performance is greater than the FireFly, and it also has a higher top speed. It all adds up to the ability to fly in a wider range of conditions and sites! Reach more distant LZs, and fly in more wind, comfortably.
The Pilot
This is a wing for pilots of all skill levels who want a solid, stable, all around wing – the DragonFly is a reliable partner for your first speed flights and for larger pilots. Available in two sizes, 16m and 18m, the weight range goes up to 120 kg.

FABRIC COLOURS AND UV RESISTANCE
Please be aware that the colour you see on your screen may not accurately represent the precise fabric color. Secondly, different cloths specifications with the same color name may vary slightly. Given the wide variance in monitor calibration and the fabric appearance in different light and colour combinations, it is impossible to perfectly represent fabric colour on-screen. If you have any doubts about the colours, look at photos of various wings on our website to see them in different light and colour combinations.
All of the fabric that we use undergoes extensive testing in prototype color phase to ensure colorfastness, mechanical stability, porosity, and general longevity before we put it into production. Once our fabric is in production, every meter of it is rigorously inspected upon arrival in our factory, and fabric which does not pass our stringent quality control standards is returned to the manufacturer. We are frequently asked, "Which colours last the longest, or have the best UV resistance?" All of the colours that we stock score between 4 and 5 on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest possible rating for longevity.
