Glitch
GLITCH – No compromises acro flying
Pilot Profile:
The GLITCH is designed to perform all the tricks required in today's acro competitions. It is not suited to be your first acro glider. If you can't yet perform basic helico connections such as Sat to Heli or Misty to Heli, we don’t recommend learning them on the GLITCH, because it’s too aggressive. However, if you are confident in those tricks and are starting to get decent new school tricks such as Joker Cork and Cowboy and you want to refine your connections and progress further, the GLITCH is the glider to look for.The NOVA GLITCH is a highly specialized competition acro wing, perfected over more than five years of development in collaboration with pro pilot Théo de Blic. Offering unmatched reliability, especially for complex maneuvers like Stall to Infinite, and featuring unique reflex airfoils for incredibly solid wingtips, it delivers outstanding performance. Its moderate brake pressure allows for extended training sessions. Designed for experienced acro pilots who demand no compromises in heli connections and new-school tricks.
