We applied our latest technology and cumulative know-how to create the VISTA. A new DHV 1-2 Sports Class Intermediate. A delightful all-around wing with a free-style feel intended for a wide range of pilots and flying styles.

Thanks to its sophisticated hi-tech profile, the VISTA sports direct and effortless handling coupled with superb performance. Built-in Neodymium magnets and swivels on the brake handles exemplify our attention to detail.

New technology has been incorporated to continuously reduce the glider's weight without sacrificing the durability of the cloth or construction.

VISTA today is lighter than most rival gliders in its class and exhibits spotless launch and safety. VISTA is equipped with FlexonŽ battens assuring perfect launch without any sign of deterioration during the life span of the glider. The battens also contribute to a extended speed range and improved performance. Bright, distinctive new color designs, inspired by the Twister, complement the VISTA

CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS

Materials
The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions. The lines are made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The carabiners that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
