Gin Yeti Tandem 3

LIGHT TANDEM – AND MUCH MORE

The Yeti tandem is an ultralight tandem glider, suitable not just for hike ‘n fly adventures, but also for all kinds of flights, especially with family and friends.

• smooth inflation in all wind conditions
• excellent performance over the entire speed range
• super stable even with trim open (EN A rated)
• well-damped pitch control in strong conditions
• good climbing ability
• great passive safety compared to the level of performance

Gin Seok Song shares the design story of the Yeti Tandem:

Gin explains: “Besides hike ‘n fly and commercial tandems, a lot of general pilots simply like to fly tandem for fun, often with family and friends. We wanted to make a very easy wing for these pilots that would be fun to fly and convenient to transport.

Our aim was to make the flying experience as close as possible to that of flying a solo wing. The improved 2nd generation EPT (Equalised Pressure Technology) profile makes take-off easier than ever before. Inflation is effortless and the wing stops above your head without shooting. Getting airbourne is super fast, no need to run a lot. Forward or reverse launches are equally stress-free, just give a gentle pull and off you go.

In the air, the wing has a compact feel with soft yet precise handling – you will want to fly for hours and the excellent glide performance means you can really cover some distance.
