For cross-country purists!
This used Bonanza 2 wing from the brand GIN is available in L size and White color. It has 20 flights to its credit.
The Bonanza is one of the benchmark wings for cross-country flying, thanks to its exceptional performance and excellent passive safety for this level of performance. Efficient when climbing in thermals, its light inflation in all types of wind and its easy management on all axes on take-off make it a pleasant and playful wing. It remains very stable, especially in accelerated flight, and pitch control is optimal in all conditions.

- optimum pitch control in all conditions
- efficient thermal climb
- good passive safety compared to this level of performance
Bonanza designer's info
The original Bonanza was one of Gin Seok Song's favorite gliders to develop over the past 40 years. He put all his know-how into making the Bonanza2 a worthy heir.
Gin explains: "We worked for over two years on this wing , and tried many techniques, but in the end my experience guided me to finish the wing as it is now. The aspect ratio and planform were defined from the outset. As with all our recent sails, we spend a lot of time optimizing wing tension and 3D shaping. On modern high-performance sails, the adjustments are so fine and sensitive that the choice of materials and the diameter of the lines have a major influence. The internal construction of the canopy is incredibly important for this type of wing . Most 3-cell groups are connected to each other with rows of tension bands, giving a ratio of stability to performance. This keeps the wing taut, even at full bar. I recommend usingspeed-bar as often as possible. The wing is not only very stable in all speed ranges, but also accelerates quickly and smoothly. Performance is always there!
Steering
Pitch control on the Bonanza2 is made easier and finer with the new SMART RISERS system. Its accelerated flight characteristics - combined with excellent climbing ability and passive safety - make the Bonanza 2 a dream glider for purists who want to fly far with ease.
