The Characteristics

The unique thermal characteristics of the Aquila is also the basis for the Sitta. The combination out of the thermal profile, the simple line geometry and the feather light canopy ensures an effortless start even when weather conditions are demanding.

The Sitta does not overshoot in strong wind and is also very compact in turbulent air. The handling is extremely precise and covers therefore many pilots expectations: Either flying a nice soft glide over the valleys or playfully climbing into the thermals with other pilots.
