After three very succesfull „Golden" years Gradient is preparing a new intermediate glider; The Golden2 (DHV 1-2 category). The target group of pilots is the same as for the Golden2. (A typical DHV 1-2 glider). We have completely redesigned this new glider : number of cells is 50, new modified airfoils, new materials, new colour and colour combinations and the
Golden2 will be available in five certified sizes.
