After looking in the table below you will be convinced that we have really wide range of high
performance hang gliders of all sizes for all tastes. Our older versions of Combat GT – Combat
13.2GT and Combat 14.2GT are still in production and are competitive enough. GT means that
you get all the latest and most competitive features in you glider. Three new sizes – 12.4, 12.7 and 13.5 are supposed to cover the whole range of pilot's weights. These three new gliders are top of the art made by Aeros.

If you are on a budget – one of the GT gliders is for you, just pick up the right size and you will be able to successfully compete at any high level competition.
