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 playful handling and a high level of passive safetyHigh . As well as being better damped than the second generation, particularly on the roll axis, the steering is precise and comfortable thanks to a light design which reduces the inertia of theglider 's movements to better communicate information from the air mass.
The architecture of the LEAF 3 Light limits deformation of the glider, allowing a wide range of control inputs for serenely exploiting the full speed range. The new arch design makesLift / thermic easier to operate, while the lighter structure of the feathers makesglider responsive when cornering. These elements make for a precisesteering on thermal flight .
Thanks to its forgiving behavior, the LEAF 3 Light teaches you how to fine-tune your steering little by little, so you can feel confident as you progress towards performance. Lightweight and compact, it's the perfect glider to take anywhere!
Features
The LEAF 3 Light is a glider progression model. It is designed for independent pilots pilots who fly on a regular basis. Ideal for beginners to cross-country flying, it is the logical follow-up to a glider school glider.

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 LEAF 3 Light's structure has been reworked for improved thermal flight performance. More damped than the LEAF 2 Light on the roll axis, its behavior filters the air mass for greater comfort at flight without compromising on steering precision .
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 designed for those pilots who want to continue their progress at paraglider with a reassuring glider that doesn't deprive them of the pleasures of driving. flight hike.
Just like the standard version, the LEAF 3 Light is aneasy glider at steering and very forgiving, for a smooth progression to more high-performance paraglider, both on land and in the air.
It's still playful and responsive to control, so you can perfect your steering 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 deformation of the Airfoil and increases control travel. This gives you the freedom to exploit the full speed range of theglider while maintaining the precision of steering.
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.
