The Climax was available with 2 types of A frame, either standard or airfoiled aluminium tubes. Rond carbon fiber crossbar. Aluminium alloy dive sticks and battons. Outstanding finish - as always with this manufacturer - at a reasonable price.

An add on to the 1st comment. the Climax is a well rounded glider: recreational use, cross country flights or competition, it will do it all due to its light handling, plus easy takeoff and landing characteristics. It flies fast; The Climax 13 is not for lightweight pilots, as it requires a high wing load. Also, it ages well and there is a distributor in France. In a nutshell: a good glider which deserves a stronger diffusion!
