Stubai Cup 2024: Skywalk Masala 4, Arak 2 and Poison

Описание: Skywalk launched the Masala 4 (EN A) two days before the Stubai Cup 2024, and it was available to fly during the festival.

A “lightweight all-rounder” Skywalk’s Arne Wehrlin said they are “really happy” with the glider. “It’s the perfect beginner’s wing,” Arne said, designed to take pilots all the way through from learning to XC.

The Arak 2 (EN B) was also available for demo flights, and is expected to be available to order by April. It’s a mid-B glider, a light (but not lightweight) wing made of robust materials. “It’s a really fun glider with good performance – it gives you a sixth sense for the air.” It will be available in six sizes, covering 55kg to 135kg.

Finally, the prototype of the latest generation Poison (two-line EN D) is in the final stages of development. Arne said the plan is to have it available for the competition season starting in “maybe May”.
