The flagship of the Aeros flex wing lineup, the Combat offers an unrivaled combination of performance, handling, and value for the pilot seeking a high performance flex wing. The Combat L for 2007 is the latest evolution of the highly successful Combat family.

The Aeros Combat L has won many competitions including the World Championship. With new Grill Polyester sail material the Combat L 2007 has become even more comfortable to fly.

The current glider is based on the successful 2006 model, but with some subtle but valauble modifications. We have removed a slit on the Leading Edges for Combat L 13, 14, 15, put a stronger PX10T material under the leading edge, put a VG bearing pulley for easier VG useage and did some "cosmetic" refinements, which make the glider faster, more comfortable and safer.

During Australia competitions Oleg Bondarchuk tested the Combat glider with these new innovations with which, he is very pleased with.

Also, we got many favorable reports regarding the new Combat L12. Many light weight pilots have been extremely happy to fly it. The new option of ording Litestream uprights and a Airfoil aluminium speedbar has been made available for this smaller wing. The Litestream uprights are not as wide but more convenient for a smaller pilots to hold.

The new, lighter weight, grille polyester top surface sail cloth offers less weight and improved roll performance and turn coordination which produces faster climbs.

Standard features of the 2007 Combat L include:

  • Custom sail color choice
  • 7075 Airframe
  • Gel Coated Carbon Crossbar
  • Diax PP60 or Grille Polyester 180 Top Surface Sail
  • Wills Wing Slipstream Uprights

In addition, a number of optional features are available to optimize your new Combat:

  • Uncoated Carbon Crossbar (18 oz weight savings)
  • Carbon Leading Edge Inserts

The best keeps getting better!
