The Mirage RS is the next stage in the development of the Mirage, the glider which redefined speedflying when it was introduced. The Mirage RS is aimed at ambitious speedflying-pilots and has a focus on a further increased glide and dive range with increased safety and razor-sharp handling. With its large range, the Mirage RS adjusts to even steep contours, makes precise and more dynamic barrel rolls, has high energy reserves also at very low speeds and we optimized the control for longer and accurate swoop landings.

The RAST technology developed by SWING increases safety during flight, on foot launch and stabilises the canopy appreciably in turbulent conditions. The Mirage RS stands out with its precise and direct handling, greater speed and a touch more glide, but does not in any way sacrifice the very popular Mirage characteristics!

All of this makes the Mirage RS the ultimate All-Mountain Speedflyer no matter tough your runs and lines are.

Mirage RS 15

The Mirage RS 15 is the speedflying link to the APUS RS, our paraglider-miniwing. Size-optimised trimming means we have been able to retain the characteristics of the Mirage RS. With a flat wing area of 15.5m², this new size provides the ideal introduction into the world of speedflying. What’s more, it opens up many new opportunities to experienced miniwing pilots as well. The Mirage RS 15 is an all-rounder for almost every occasion, whether it’s for the descent in a hike & fly mission, with fun guaranteed (glider weight 2.8kg), soaring in strong winds or ground handling. The long trim travel offers a huge range with a high resistance to collapses, so the Mirage RS 15 can be flown intuitively along the contours of the land. With a surface area of 15.5 m², it offers a high level of safety and glide performance and greater flexibility in the choice of alpine launch sites. Unlike miniwings with paraglider profiles, the collapse-resistant speedflying profile and short lines make the Mirage RS a true carver, with dive and performance precisely adjusted for safe and uncomplicated mountain swooping. If you are flying at the coast or ground handling, with the Mirage RS 15, the fun takes over from where it endswith a conventional glider.

Mirage RS 15 – a fun wing you should never leave home without!

The SPITFIRE has established itself over recent years as the benchmark in speed riding and this glider is an icon in its category. Our development team has been working intensively with the Swing speed flying team on the evolution of the Spitfire1 and has optimized this wing still further.

The result is yet another milestone, the Spitfire2. This is a further commitment to the speed riding community and caters even better for pilot needs.

The Spitfire2 is a true speed rider. It feels completely at home on the snow-covered slopes in mountain regions with its direct and uncompromising handling. The shortened lines and the lightweight construction using the hard-wearing and waterproof-coated 20 dtex fabric transform the pilot and glider into one, allowing complete focus on finding the best line. Once again we have been able to use the control lines and extended trim travel to increase the glide angle window considerably. The result is a new and previously unmatched dive, with almost the same glide as the Mirage. The new Swing Design 2015, 3D seams and a reworked riser with extended trim travel by opening the stitching round off the new Spitfire2 and make it unique in its class.

Spitfire 2 vs. Mirage

The Spitfire2 is aimed at pilots who concentrate on speed riding and at dedicated fans of ‘swooping’ who would also like to launch without skis from time to time.

In direct contrast to the Spitfire 2, the Mirage is the all-round glider for enthusiastic speed flyers and for foot-launching. Its special features mean that it has strengths not only for the summer season – it also cuts an impressive figure in the winter when used with skis.

Compare the features of the Spitfire 2  and see for yourself.

• trim travel increased once again for better glide with an even steeper dive
• very straightforward launch behavior, optimized for ski launching
• shorter lines give direct and uncompromising handling and maximum canopy feedback, thus allowing aggressive yet manageable barrel rolls
• a new lightweight construction reduces any tendency for the canopy to be sluggish. The glider remains stable above the pilot even in slow rides in deep snow and follows without hesitation in tight ski turns
• lengthened brake travel optimized for speed riding with exponential pressure increase against stalls, which allows maximum canopy feedback
• high canopy stability even in steep dives, difficult terrain or turbulent conditions
• optimized design with three line levels for less line resistance and straightforward ground handling
• high energy conversion even at low speed which is a very good feature in deep snow, for example
• completely reworked design - "Swing Design 2015"
• 3D shaping
• new optimized riser with interchangeable trimmer band and increased trim travel by opening the seam
• available sizes: comp / 8,5 / 9,5 / 11 / 13 / 15 / twin

Spitfire2 13m/15m for training and beginners

The Spitfire1 has established clearly that it is a suitable glider for training and beginners so we have completely reworked it in sizes 13 and 15.

The trim travel is ideal for speed riding beginners. The dampened handling in these sizes is perfect for the learning curve and is very forgiving. These two sizes also come in the new design, with lightweight construction and have the new riser with opened seam.

THE LATEST FOOT-LAUNCH SPEEDFLYING WING.

Developed for smooth downhill flights, hike and fly, soaring in gentle to strong winds or pushing terrain flying, the FLAME is our best all-round, multi-use wing for all levels of pilot experience.

The wide range of wing sizes allows you to work your way down from larger Mini Wings to smaller Speedflying Wings, as your experience and skill improves.

For more information check out the Level Wings site HERE.

LIGHT WEIGHT – FOR ALL YOUR ADVENTURES.

We made the FLAME in a lightweight version for all of your adventures, from mountaineering to holiday trips. The FLAME LIGHT will pack down to a size that will not make you even think twice to add it to your backpack or suit case. Weighing less than 1kg less than the standard versions, we have chosen the perfect strength to weight ratio for all types of missions.

The FLAME LIGHT is modelled on the FLAME which is the latest foot-launch Speedflying wing from Level Wings. Developed for smooth downhill flights, hike and fly, soaring in gentle to strong winds or pushing terrain flying, the FLAME is our best all-round, multi-use wing for all levels of pilot experience.

The wing is also perfect for high altitude mountaineering because of the short line geometry based on Speedflying, giving the wing more structural solidity and easier launch characteristics’ than a typical Mini Wing. This makes it one the best gliders for high peaks or morning hike and fly missions giving confidence throughout the whole flight..

We reduced the weight notably throughout the glider while keeping durability and ease of use at the forefront of the design. A wing that will last longer than your typical “ultralight” gliders and give you more confidence in those rugged and hard to get places, time and time again. Lines are thin but stay sleeved in low parts, and risers stay in clean thin webbing for further security.

The Perfect partner for all your adventures!!!
