Firebied Spider DHV 1-2 (2006 mode) in red and black size small (max weight 85kg) for sale . Im the second owner of this wing and i bought it last year from the Sick and the Wrong with very low air time on it, roughly 10-15hours. Since buying the wing ive only put 30hours on it. Not very many since i split my flying between a number of wings. Wing is in excellent condition all over but does have one very small patch towards one of the wing tips where it snagged something. Patch is about 3cmx3cm and has been done with the same color tape so its very hard to find let alone notice. Firebird have one of the best build quality's on the market and this is reflected in their price which is normally a fair bit higher than other brands. Im looking for a quick sale hence im asking £750ono. Will ship world wide once a shipping price has been agreed due to size and weight. PM me with an email address if you would like any specific pictures. Wing is ideal for beginner to intermediate pilot looking for something they can go XC on or just stay on the ridge. Pictures available on request.
Im selling the wing and some other gear since ive had my right knee reconstructed and wont be flying again until next season so there is no point me holding on to good kit.
Cheers
Dan
Here is what Firebird say about their wing:
The Firebird Spider is a safe performance and fun intermediate glider. It is agile, safe and stable.The swept-back planform gives narrow turn radius and improved slow flight characteristics while full diagonal ribs and additional E lines result in a very stable profile. The hich tech design of the Spider reduces the number of lines to give good glide even when accelerated, so the Spider delivers big gains in performance without compromising safety, conforming to the new DHV requirements.We have optimized safety so you can concentrate on your flying. The characteristic swept-back planform prevents locked spirals and greatly reduces the risk of cravats. The Spider also garanties for moderate reactions even on big asymmetricdeflations, as certified by the new tougher DHV regulations.The handling of the new Spider is direct and precise, so you can fly a long time without getting tired. Also the fine handling generates a secure feel in thermals and is great fun when flying freestyle.In addition to that the Spider sets new standards in quality and innovations. It is produced with Laser Cut Technology in the new elaborate Firebird design and equiped with Speed Loops that can hold 30% more load and provide aerodynamic advantages. Moreover Dirt Holes for convenient maintenance of your glider, EdgeProtect edge reinfordement to protect the most exposed parts of the glider and new comfort risers make the Spider a real high-quality product allowing us to be the only producer worldwide offering a 5-year-warranty.
