The right choice!

Our Target is like love,
it suits for any age!
Friendly, easy to fly and easy to land |
A little lyrical foreword |
In
the former USSR this glider has initially been introduced as a "Student".
A number of first gliders had this plain name written on their keel pockets.
Besides, hang gliders with the same parameters and name were manufactured
in a MAI hang gliding club. A name so dear to our heart and ears did not
fit in the West, and following the advice of our British distributor, there
appeared the name Target. Target is not just a BUTT or an OBJECTIVE which
is to be hit with any kind of weapon, this is also a MISSION, i.e. a goal
in life to be pursued by everyone who has chosen a hang glider as a transport
for travelling in the "fifth ocean". |

flights. Starting is as easy as you can only imagine! Smooth proportionate
control pull allows to acquire proper experience for switching to
more masterly sport wings. Targets are obedient and controllable at
landing. This is the right choice
for beginning pilots at dawn of their flight career! |

Hang gliding veterans, read this! |

Isn't it high time to stretch old bones? You started to fly 20 years ago,

don't you? Target hang gliders will once again let you feel cloudless joy
of free flight, not risking to break your neck while landing. |

Do you live in a flatland area or would you like to
be independent of the weather's whims? In spite of this, would you
like to experience the joy of soaring? An obvious solution is to install
a small and light engine on your wing, which will allow you to perform
foot launch, to gain altitude easily and to land safely like on a
usual hang glider. The Target 13M/16M version is specially modified
for this purpose: the glider's frame is strengthened, there is an
extra keel tube in-cut not to interfere with powerplant and propeller
installing.
Doodlebug
and Mosquito
powered harnesses owners' reports on this wing modification are very
positive. |

If you have decided to learn tandem hang gliding, read here |
 New Target 21 tandem hang glider launches, handles and
lands quite similarly to Target 16. The glider is comfortable at all
flight modes from the first steps at launch to the very landing. Despite
its large size, the glider can be easily flown by a single pilot unless
his weight is under 85 kg. |
Warning!
Flying a tandem glider requires pilot's stable attainments, which
are normally acquired gradually. That is why it is recommended to
start tandem flying with a hang glider pilot as a passenger to make
sure he will act adequately at launch and at landing.
Preflight
instruction on the aircraft crew’s actions at launch, in the air and
at landing is absolutely necessary!
It is imperative to have wheels on the control bar! |
