MASALA4: More than just the beginning!

The MASALA4 is more than just the beginning – it is the start of a lifelong passion and a journey of endless discoveries.

HOW DOES THE MASALA FLY?

The preparation for take-off is made particularly easy thanks to the clearly arranged risers with color-coded seams that immediately indicate if the risers are twisted, as well as the user-friendly line mix. During the launch phase, the MASALA4 rises homogeneously and reliably over the pilot, the glider corrects itself almost automatically. Whether you are taking off for the first time or are an experienced Hike&Fly pilot, with the MASALA4, take-offs are as effortless and safe as never before, even in the most challenging terrains.

In the air, the glider instills you confidence from the very first beginning to its pleasant roll damping and playful handling. The flight feeling is very intuitive. With the high safety reserves, you are secure even in turbulence and can concentrate on your surroundings in the air right from the start.

For those who love speed and dynamics, it is recommended to fly at the top end of the weight range. Here, the MASALA4 unleashes its full power and flies significantly more dynamically – fun is guaranteed! However, be warned: even though the MASALA4 has an A-rating across the complete weight range, you will be flying much too fast for your instructor’s comfort if you operate in the extended weight range.

Features

JET FLAPS

Their JET FLAPS extend the green arc as you approach the stall point, which substantially increases safety and also improves climb performance.

SMART LINK SYSTEM

Color coded seams on the risers to ensure that the risers are connected correctly and without being twisted. red = left, blue = right

MINI RIBS

Doubling the number of cells at the trailing edge increases its shape stability substantially. Advantage: fewer vortices improve the aerodynamics and with it the performance.

C-WIRES

Nylon wires sewn into the glider over the anchor points of the C-level lines. Advantages: better load distribution, reduced drag, more performance.

RIGID FOIL

Nylon and Nitinol wires keep the leading edge and the profile in shape and ensure a more constant ram air pressure. Advantages: better take-off behavior and more performance.

SHARK NOSE

Together with a corresponding wing design, the shark nose technology improves pressure distribution in the canopy substantially. Advantages: much more solid flying feeling and substantial performance gain, especially when gliding on bar.

3D-SHAPING

A precise calculation of the leading edge geometry and the installation of an additional strip of fabric reduce wrinkling in this sensitive part of the glider. Advantages: exact wing shape, more performance.

AUTOMATIC SAND RELEASE SYSTEM

Porous openings of the profile ribs at the trailing edge ensure that sand and dirt in the glider are automatically guided to the wingtip where they can trickle out. This helps preserve the material and “relieves” the trailing edge.

SAND RELEASE SYSTEM 2.0

Porous openings of the profile ribs at the trailing edge ensure that sand and dirt in the glider are automatically guided to the wingtip where they can trickle out. This helps preserve the material and relieves the trailing edge.
