BGD Competition Glider: Light and FAST - BANDARRA

We went to Gralha, our local hill and the wind was spot on and it was full of people, so was the perfect opportunity to try the BGD Lynx.

Originally developed for the Redbull X-Alps in 2017 with the BGD Cure as a base the Lynx evolved to as the stand alone wing of today. It uses light materials and minimalist design to keep it light. High aspect ratio and thin profile make it super slick gliding through the air, meaning it is fast!

I was quite cautious as I like to progressively get to know a wing or piece of equipment but first impressions are very nice indeed.

Gemma did a stellar job on this one capturing images from different angles :)
