About LEAF 3 Light
If you're looking for a glider to continue your progress in paraglider without depriving you of the flight hike, the LEAF 3 Light is for you. On the menu: lightness, passive safety and performance.
The LEAF 3 Light benefits from a design similar to the LEAF 3, the only difference being that the materials used are lighter, allowing you to progress serenely on flight and practice hike & fly comfortably.
The LEAF 3 Light offers a playful handling while offering a High level of passive safety. In addition to being better damped than the second generation, especially on the roll axis, the steering is precise and comfortable thanks to a design light that reduces the inertia of theglider to better communicate air mass information.
The architecture of the LEAF 3 Light limits the deformation of the glider, allowing a wide range of travel to operate the entire speed range with peace of mind. The new design of the vault makes theLift / thermic simpler to operate, while the lightweight feather structure makes theglider Responsive when cornering. These elements provide a Precise control in flight thermal.
Thanks to its forgiving handling, the LEAF 3 Light teaches you to fine-tune your steering little by little to accompany you serenely in your progress towards performance. Lightweight and compact, it's a glider to take everywhere!
Features
The LEAF 3 Light is a glider progress. It is aimed at autonomous pilots who fly on a regular basis. Ideal for beginners in cross-country, it is the logical continuation of a glider school.

LEAF3 and LEAF3 Light
All the advantages of the LEAF 3 in a light version!
Although based on the design , the LEAF 3 Light uses lightweight and robust materials for optimal weight/durability without impacting its performance at flight.
Just like the non-lightweight version, the LEAF 3 light is a glider Ideal for progressing thanks to its High level of passive safety. Still, it is one glider A player with whom you will be able to work serenely on your technique to go further.
The structure of the LEAF 3 Light has been reworked for better performance in flight . More damped than the LEAF 2 Light on the roll axis, its behavior filters the air mass for more comfort in flight without compromising on the precision of the piloting .
Unlike the LEAF 3, the Line set of the LEAF 3 Light is unsheathed on the upper stage to save weight and reduce drag. However, the lower and middle stages remain sheathed for easy untangling and preflighting.
With a weight of 3.66 kg in size M, this glider Lightweight and compact goes with you everywhere, whether in the air or in your bag. It is the ideal choice if you want to Progress serenely in flight while practicing Hike & Fly.
Ideal to progress without getting bored
The LEAF 3 Light is aimed at riders who want to continue their progress by paraglider under a glider that do not deprive them of the pleasures of the flight hike.
Just like the standard version, the LEAF 3 Light is a glider Easy to ride and very forgiving for a smooth progression to a more efficient practice of the paraglider, on land as well as in the air.
It is still playful and reactive to the control and will allow you to perfect your piloting technique step by step.
Comfort in flight
The LEAF 3 Light has a new design arch to provide better cushioning, especially on the roll axis.
Thanks to its lightweight structure, the LEAF 3 Light provides you with air mass information while reducing the inertia of theglider. This reassuring behavior allows you to maintain confidence while understanding what is going on around you.
The construction of the internal structure limits the deformations of the Airfoil and increases the deflection under control. This gives you the freedom to operate the entire speed range of theglider while maintaining steering precision.
Optimized leading edge
Like the LEAF 3, the light version benefits from a reworked leading edge. The air inlets alternate between two types of openings along the leading edge to ensure optimal internal pressure at all engine speeds flight.
Airfoil The wide air inlets maintain internal pressure at low speeds , while the narrower openings ensure optimal pressure at flight .
Thermal performance
With the new architecture of theglider, the turn is smoother with better coordination of the roll and pitch axis, making theglider more accurate. Its arch allows for a flatter turn, which makes the optimization of theLift / thermic simpler. The LEAF 3 Light is therefore an EN-B at the same time. design Ideal for the flight thermal and cross-country.
