Excellente aile, à condition d'avoir les épaules solides car assez lourde, et également une attache de sangle "démutilpliée". 1 vol extrémement sympa au Lachens avec une belle prise d'altitude !

I had a 165 which was a prototype Demon. Extremely light handling and 'suspicious' in pitch but I think production gliders were fine in this respect. All Demons had foam-backed leading edges as opposed to Mylar. Later models also had blue 'painted' rather than anodised tubing - to save costs I imagine.

For the record, the Demon was also made under license from Hiway by Flight Designs of Salinas, California. The American version also served as the wing for the "Jetwing" trike also produced by Flight Designs. After Flight Designs was bought out by Pioneer Parachute in 1982, some sails were made by the latter company. These were highly inferior to the original versions, and can be identified by the use of straight-stitch seams rather than zig-zag seams.

Aile très bien centrée en virage.Très difficile à poser (pique du nez en fin de phase d'atterro).
Un vol mythique au Mt gros,800m au dessus pendant 2h)année 82-85.

j'ai possédé un Démon, jaune bouton d'or !!! c'est vrai assez lourd à l'époque, mais quand je compare maintenant avec mon laminar st sans mat, ce dernier fait quand méme pas mal de kg en plus.
Par rapport au dernier commentaire, je n'ai jamais eu de problème pour le poser, peut etre un centrage différent. J'ai utilisé beaucoup le démon en treuillé sans soucis, avec pour la petite histoire un larguage à 1800 M oui vous lisez bien en région parisienne (il y a + de 20 ans) donc, une aile qui ne m'a jamais inquiété.

Although not airworthy my Demon rests out the back yard, poised to bring back fond memories every time I look at it. My first hang glider,easy to handle,fly and land. Although on its first outing a gust did decide to lift it off the ground, carry it fifty yards and dump it causing £500 worth of damage. I need to get back into the air but what do I do with the Demon.

Donate your old Demon to the British Hang Gliding Museum. Google should provide contact details.
