EPSILON 5 - Discover a new Horizon!
The new EPSILON 5 is placed right in the middle of the DHV 1-2 category
and offers a very high level of passive safety. Thanks to the well known
ADVANCE handling, the Epsilon 5 is a superb wing for long thermal flights.
This wing will help inexperienced pilots realise their flying aspirations
and take the first steps towards XC flying.

Behaviour
The EPSILON 5 is aimed primarily at occasional pilots with a preference
for thermal flights and assists them in expanding their flying horizons.
The balanced ADVANCE handling together with the wing's high intrinsic
stability make lengthy thermal flights unadulterated pleasure. The excellent
performance increases the appeal of the EPSILON 5 for pilots switching
from a higher class. The enormous margin of passive safety means that
the DHV 1-2 glider can also be flown by talented beginners.
Outstanding features of the new EPSILON 5:
- excellent handling in thermal conditions
- high passive safety
- high intrinsic stability
- flawless take-off characteristics
- good performance even in accelerated flight
Improved big ears system
The EPSILON 5 now has separated A-risers to make the big ears manoeuvre easier. Thanks to the innovative Quick-Snap system, the risers are automatically separated only after take-off and joined together again on the ground, thereby facilitating ground handling.
Designed
with body size in mind
The EPSILON 5 is fitted with risers of different length depending on the
canopy size, so that even small pilots can reach them at all times. The
size of the brake handles also varies according to canopy size.
Enhanced
Speed & Performance Indicator (SPI)
A Speed & Performance Indicator (SPI) attached to the D-risers now
displays the current position on the polar curve and helps the pilot select
the best flying speed.
More efficient
acceleration system
The pretension ratio of the A, B and C levels has been precisely tailored
to the profile by exhaustive calculations. This brings about an improvement
in performance as well as canopy stability in accelerated flight. The
latter makes it possible to exploit the entire speed range with the EPSILON
5, even in turbulent air.
New line
geometry
Thanks to a refined line geometry, it has been possible to reduce the
intermediate line groups of the EPSILON 5 to two levels. The overall decrease
in line length brings about a reduction in resistance and improves line
control on the ground. During big ears, the new line geometry enables
more extensive collapsing of the wingtips, with a significant improvement
in the effectiveness of the manoeuver.
