The OMEGA 8ADVANCE OMEGA 8 – Inspired by SuccessWith the OMEGA 8 you’ll find yourself at the top of the XC league! TheOMEGA 8 is the highest performance glider in the serial class. It hasyet again set a new benchmark, just like the OMEGA series glidersbefore it. The new ADVANCE flagship glider embodies tradition andprogress at the same time. Its handling and design are unmistakable.Outstanding featuresFascinating flying feelingstability, balanced pitch and a speed system that is fine-tuned to thewing’s profile give the competitive pilot the edge.Built from successThe OMEGA 8 builds on the proven three liner concept of the 2009ADVANCE World Championship winning glider and the X-Alps winningprototype. The OMEGA 8 is also one of the lightest performancewings with a new construction, carefully selected materials and nylonwire battens at the leading edge. All these new technologies havebeen rigorously tested and refined to perfection.With distinctive, direct handling and incredible performance theOMEGA 8 has plenty of allure. Two of its outstanding characteristicsare its smooth and efficient speed system and the incredibly goodstability at speed. The twist on the airfoil’s angle of attack is optimizedfor stability. Sensitive feedback from the wing tips gives the pilotcomplete control even in the roughest air.Performance across the rangeWith a glide ratio of 10.6 and a useable top speed of 59 km/h, theOMEGA 8 is by far the best performer in its class. And the OMEGA 8comes into its own in accelerated flight through turbulent air. The solid6
Other important detailsEfficient and smooth 2-phase speed system with SPIFASCINATINGPOWERFULThanks to its 3 line levels and the choice of profile the OMEGA 8 canbe very efficiently accelerated with little effort. In addition the OMEGA 8has a variable ratio speed system. This means that the speed bartravel and pressure can be changed to suit the user’s anatomy:smooth, 3:1 ratio when the legs are bent, and efficient, more direct2:1 with outstretched legs. During accelerated flight the Speed-Performance-Indicator(SPI) always shows the ideal against the currentlyselected accelerate setting.Specially coated linesThe OMEGA 8’s uncovered lines have a high resistance to UV radiationand physical abrasion thanks to their compact braid and an additionalcoating of the individual line fibres. The loops at the line junctionsare reinforced, which results in lower contact surface pressure.A well-tried Dyneema/Aramid mix has been used for the brake linesto ensure minimum stretching.REFINED7
