For years we have been testing different gliders of different classes.

Since issue 1-2/2005 we severely tightened the testing procedure - amongst other things a relatively complicated and time-consuming measurement of the glide ratio at trim speed is part of standard procedure. The details can be read here (german).

For short reviews no glide ratio and steering force measurements are performed. The following list reviews of gliders and harnesses. It is however possible, that some of the gliders have been presented also in testivals. These you can find in the specific menu.
