Advance Bibeta 6<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We just received the Advance Bibeta 6 and, so far, we have done a couple of flights with it, a first contact that left us open-mouthed. Regarding details and finishes we can say that, today, Advance seems to be above any other manufacturer, at least of the tandem wings that we have test-flown at Ojovolador: it weighs 6.95 kg, has three very short and manageable risers of 32 cm (it is the first 3-line tandem wing we have flown), shark nose, unsheathed Magix Pro Aramid lines, jam cleat to keep big ears in, special tape for the trimmers, low-friction ceramic brake swivels, handles in different sizes…<\/p>\n

The Bibeta 6 risers are brilliant, very short -only 32 cm-, with split As, jam cleats for big ears, special tape, unsheathed lines, custom size brake handles and magnetic clips.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Available in two sizes, 38 and 41 m2, we are testing size 41 that has a weight range of 120 to 225 kg, which is a massive 100 kg of margin! In our first two flights I loaded it to 170 and 165 Kg, a range in which the Bibeta 6 was fast and very agile.
\nInflation:<\/strong> Very smooth and manageable.
\nGlide:<\/strong> Well, we\u2019ll see, but it seems almost unbeatable.
\nTurn:<\/strong> Super direct and dynamic; in only one turn you can build powerful wingovers. To climb in thermals it asks for brakes. The touch of the brakes is of a high EN B, but more physical.<\/p>\n

In short, and before we fly it more, the Bibeta 6 seems to be delightful, a luxurious tandem wing to make your passengers dream, and to make yourself excited and happy on every flight. ?<\/p>\n
