Have fun flying!
Markus Reuther, owner of the flight school Edelweiss, was one of the first to test our new A-wing RIMO 2. His conclusion in the summary is as follows:
“The RIMO 2 is a well-balanced beginner's wing that offers an extremely high level of passive safety. The difference to the previous model, RIMO 1, is the better climbing performance of the canopy during zero wind starts. I don't currently know of a better wing in the A-segment that handles all training maneuvers as well as the new UP wing, such as accelerated big ears, pitching, rolling and, above all, collapses. When it comes to the most important descent maneuver for beginners – accelerated big ears – nothing flutters, the ears are big enough, the descent maneuver is stable and therefore also effective and long-lasting. The canopy launches beautifully and there is hardly any collapsing. If you want to have fun or learn to spiral, the control is precise to the centimeter, allowing you to practice and learn perfectly without reaching an overly dynamic flight state.”
