So a Zen Puma has everything and weighs nothing? Stands to reason it's been en-lightened. Some of my friends in SoCal have been wondering if there's one in the US to demo?
Possibly, although not so soon. I'm afraid a larger size is a higher priority as there are more pilots that are heavy on it than light. The minimum clip in weight is 75kg, and with a racing harness with reserve weighing around 12kg this means that this size will accommodate down to 63kg.
Hi the recommended total clip in weight is 75-105kg. It is load tested up to 120 kg though to enable use with trikes and power units. I believe the pilot reviewing it in this video clips in at somewhere around 95-100kg.
No! This is an Avian Puma. PIUMA is Italian for 'feather' The Icaro Piuma is a single surface low performance beginner glider. PUMA is a type of wildcat. The Avian Puma is a high performance Sport glider for more experienced pilots. The Avian Puma was first! www.avianonline.co.uk/avian-gliders-c-226.html
Very impressed with what you managed to pull off. Not a very conventional design!
Keep up the inovation!
It's a beautiful glider

I think Steve Tedstone
, Greenville South Carolina has one. Maybe converge on Kitty Hawk or Wallaby to try it.
Thanks, yes Steve Tedstone is our US dealer, I've just emailed you with his email address.
Hello, do you plan to make a smaller version of the Puma ?
Possibly, although not so soon. I'm afraid a larger size is a higher priority as there are more pilots that are heavy on it than light. The minimum clip in weight is 75kg, and with a racing harness with reserve weighing around 12kg this means that this size will accommodate down to 63kg.
@@avianhanggliders1985 Well .. Thanx
what the pilot's weight and total weight (pilot + harness) ?
