Felix Rodriguez Pro Model<br />
Designed by Dav Dagault with Felix Rodriguez and the <strong>Ozone</strong> Test Team,<br />
the FLX.2 is the second generation of our ultimate competition acro wing.<br />
There was only one mission statement for this glider: ‘Make Felix Happy’.<br />
The FLX.2 is the result of a seemingly never-ending series of prototypes that<br />
have been tested over a period of more than two years. Felix has spent literally<br />
thousands of hours hammering this wing in every manoeuvre possible,<br />
from the skies over Organya Spain to the Chamonix Valley and at every stop<br />
of the Acro World Cup; and finally, the FLX.2 is ready.<br />
Infinite Tumbles? Get yourself over the middle, and as Felix says, you won’t<br />
have to touch it – the wing just goes. Helicopters? Fast and stable, the FLX.2<br />
is as smooth as can be.<br />
Each element of the design is to fulfil the requirements for an acro manoeuvre.<br />
Perfect helicopters, rhythmic SAT to Infinite Tumble, and effortless spintricks<br />
are all possible with the FLX.2.<br />
This wing is designed for experienced and competition acro pilots who know<br />
what they need, and want to fly like Felix Rodriguez.<br />
The Concept<br />
Felix Rodriguez’s Pro Model. Designed by Dav Dagault with constant feedback<br />
from Felix, the goal of the FLX.2 is simple – maximum acro with maximum<br />
ease, comfort, and precision.<br />
New Features<br />
»» The FLX.2 is an evolution of the FLX<br />
»» A reworked profile has created what we believe is the perfect compromise<br />
between dynamic pitch (for fast, safe tumbles), and predictable and comfortable<br />
behaviour in other maneuvers<br />
»» A partially closed Leading Edge contributes to greater stability while in helicopter<br />
and in the tip during all manoeuvres<br />
»» A new brake diagram has perfected the trailing edge control<br />
»» Tension straps have been adjusted to spread the load differently inside<br />
the wing<br />
»» Overall, the FLX.2 is easier in every manoeuvre, with less effort necessary<br />
to achieve the manoeuvres in the cleanest manner. And the FLX.2 is one<br />
of the most durable wings ever produced, with an extremely high strength<br />
internal construction and the best materials available<br />
