The Buzz Z is a solid mid-range LTF 1-2 glider with the perfect balance<br />
between performance, fun, and safety for pilots who fly less than 50 hours<br />
per year.<br />
Stability and comfort in active air is what sets the Buzz Z apart from the<br />
competition, and LTF 1-2 pilots can fly this glider with confidence in a wide<br />
variety of conditions. The direct handling and agile turn of the Buzz Z make<br />
it an ideal thermalling and XC glider for pilots who want to fly XC in real XC<br />
conditions, with comfort and confidence in their wing.<br />
The Concept: A Better Buzz...<br />
We love the Buzz. It has been one of the more popular wings we have produced,<br />
and after more than two years it is still a favourite in the LTF 1-2 / EN<br />
B category. The Buzz Z fits into the same category: the exact middle of the<br />
1-2 range, with improved performance and a few subtle differences tailored<br />
to suit a wider range of pilots.t<br />
New Features<br />
»» 6 sizes!<br />
»» The cell openings have been reduced, and their positioning optimised.<br />
»» New profile.<br />
»» More cells. With 3 more across the span, the top sail is cleaner and the cell<br />
arrangement is more balanced, improving airflow at the wingtip.<br />
»» New diagonals. The Buzz Z features partial diagonals, which improve many<br />
aspects of the wing without increasing weight<br />
»» New line arrangement, and internal structure. 47m line reduction is a ‘free’<br />
performance increase, with no sacrifice in safety or comfort.<br />
»» Smoother Arc.<br />
»» Materials. The new Porcher Skytex 45 Evolution has reduced the canopy<br />
weight, leading to countless advantages over the heavier Gelvenor cloth.<br />
