Europe Sails Independent has no finished DHV test. The cannot / does not want to effort the cost.
The glider itself is easily within the (2006-2007)range of performance of similar topless gliders. Due to the small manufacturing which is far from beeing serial manufacturing (2-3 gliders/year are made)the company uses parts from other manufacturers. But particularly Carbon Parts are made in House in very professional and high quality way. This glider features unique Carbon wing-tips which are big, extremely stable and - affordable. The manufacturer makes the setup of the glider according to the personal experience and wishes of the pilot.
Performance and Flight characteristics depend on the setup: The sail can be stretched up to drumhead hardness. Such way the glider is extremely good gliding, for sure competitive also in high performance environment. On the other hand, I personally use a rather relaxed set up. I drove the WW Sport before and the change to this glider was very easy. Nevertheless, the performance is still very good: In 2008 Angerer Open I arrived in middle field although: 1) glider at easiest set up 2) VG released all the time 3) first partecipation at the event 4) old harness. There were many "high competition" litespeeds, Combats and Laminars behind me.
I would recommend to buy the glider if somebody does not worry the missing DHV test. It is 100% safe, easy to handle, quality of sail is OK, made with love and offers a good performance.
