Kangaroo 2

Kangaroo 2 has a better performance - plus all the nice features - of its previous version. Such characteristics as: easy inflation and takeoff, excellent handling, very good performance in thermals and easy landing; are still present on Kangaroo 2.

Kangaroo 2 was launched in the marked with an astonishing record. During the development and testing phase, 3 Distance World Records were broken. Kangaroo 2 is a versatile glider that inspires confidence and gives both pilot and passenger tranquillity to enjoy the flight.

Kangaroo 2 is a tandem glider for qualified and experienced pilots. Performance and handling are the two features that distinguish Kangoroo 2 from other tandem gliders. The balance and quality of the turns (efficiency and precision) and the performance of Kangaroo 2 are same as that of a high level glider. Its manoeuvrability allows Kangoroo 2 to climb the weakest thermals. Kangaroo 2 marks the optimum compromise between handling and performance.

Kangaroo 2 uses a new profile (completely developed by computer simulated models). Having tested different profiles, SOL opted for the optimum balance between performance and stability. The construction is extremely detailed with 51 cells, of which 10 are closed. The diagonal bands - A, B, C and D - result in a clean and precise glider.

The layout of Kangoroo 2 is entirely new, with a higher aspect ratio, which results in a precise handling and more performance. The cell width gets smaller as you go from the centre to the wing tip. The space between each block of cells remains the same thanks to a vector strap sewn between each profile/line attachment. The three-level suspension lines have been optimised to reduce drag and make it easier to untangle.
