If you have additional information (ex: specificity of piloting, various characteristics...) on the hang glider Calypso by Airwave, you can supplement his card by adding your comment or write to us :
Sink rate goes up fast with speed, so it's easy to burn off height in the landing field.
A bit lazy to turn, but stable for it
A great 1st glider even for heavy pilots, very forgiving.

As a new pilot, I find the Airwave Calypso easy to fly and land. If you are a new pilot, and can find one, I recommend you build up experience using the Airwave Calypso.

Where can i get spare parts for my calypso
13/07/2010
Got mine for £450 with harness. My instructor says it's in great condition.
Short pack by simply pulling the plastic ball off and forwards quite hard off the end of the wing spar. Then slide out the 2m length of spar. Reassemble by locating the dive strut in its hole and then the peg/ notch for the spar.

Je me souviens que le calypso était la copie d'une aile plus ancienne, le vison je crois. J'ai fais deux vol en calypso vers le début des années 2000. elle ne m'a pas laissé un souvenir impérissable, maniable mais un peu instable spirale, facile à poser mais je garde quand même le souvenir d'une aile plus lourde à manœuvrer que ce que l'on peut attendre dans ce niveau de gamme. Elle reste très accessible et est plutôt bien finie.
