I got my Falcon V in 1978 and flew it until 1987. So easy to fly, I mean really easy. Hours of fun flying in the far North and South West of Scotland. It is a tidy Wing and was a great replacement for the Falcon IV. Easy launch, easy to ridge soar and a sinch to land. The orange one in the photos is mine. The Wing was first produced in 1978 and passed all the British & German airworthyness tests.
