Combine the versatility of a King posted glider with the high
performance of a topless glider and you have the one of a kind,
Seedwings Spyder.
In 1997 Seedwings first discovered this concept and since
then has developed and fine tuned this technology into the new
Spyder range of hang gliders. World wide Seedwings is the only
manufacturer that produces this unique form of flying wing.
The Spyder is
the only king posted glider without one single pitch cable and
as standard, inbuilt pitch compensators. This enables optimal
gliding at high speed, with a high safety factor.

The pitch set up or 'tuning' consists of two(2) dive
sticks per side that hold up a single baton that runs over
four(4) top sail batons. Through computer assisted design, the baton
profile offers the pilot a comfortable and safe start/landing characteristics.
With extensive glide testing and experimentation, we can now say
that the new Spyder can, with gliding, easily hold its own
against the high performance topless models. A sink rate
of 1,8m with a speed of 70km/h is no coincidence. With years of
hang glider production, research and development, Seedwings
brings a new glider to the market with which the pilot will be
extremely pleased with. Glider perfection and customer satisfaction
go hand in hand. We have invested a lot of valuable time
an effort into our sail production. Seedwings has a reputation
for one of finest manufactured sails in the world, the new
Spyder is a shining example of this. With the spatial bottom
sail cut or the new fluid leading edge/tip overlap, the high performance
rip stop trailing edge cloth or the state of the art snap baton
clips, the complete package makes the Spyder one of the most
successful gliders of its time. A clean and tight sail cut with integrated
pitch compensators and a newly developed VG make the Spyder an
easy but performance enhanced glider. |

The standard extra's the Spyder has to offer
gives every pilot the comfort to
hook in and enjoy a pure flying experience.
Integrated
pitch compensators 'Dive Sticks' for a safer flight.
A through flowing
alunimium crossbar over four(4) top sail battens per side
to support a slight positive pitch run with
increasing speed.
New spatial sail
cut over the entire outside wing and bottom sail.
10 flairs between
top and bottom sail.
Aluninium frame
constructed from high quality 7075 alloy material.
A completely new
designed VG system for light and easy use.
Light weight.
Adjustable batten
click system.
