Replacement Lines Gradient offer a very fast line replacement service. Should you damage or break one or some of your lines, simply send us the line codes from your Owner's manual of the ones that need to be replaced and we'll get them from overseas. The cost, if not free, is usually minimal. For pilots with competition gliders from other manufacturers, we've got lots of Kevlar competition line available in various diameters (0.5 mm -> 1.1 mm) from which one of the repair houses can splice up your required lines. The cost is typically about R 7 per metre. Branded Gliders So you've managed to persuade someone else to pay for your glider? Gradient offer the ability to brand one's new glider with a logo for you. As an indication, a 5 m x 1.5 m logo of black text costs roughly R 2,500. For more complex or detailed logos, give us a shout. |

Yep, the prices for new gear are rediculous! But that doesn't mean one can't fly. Generally, pilots replace their wings every two years, either with newer models or ones in a higher class. Today's gliders have a conservative lifespan of 300+ sunlight hours. Since the average pilot will only fly about 100 hours before upgrading, there's plenty of life left in the wing. Furthermore, being an ultralight aircraft, in order to keep one's equipment airworthy, it's thoroughly looked after. So rest assured, the used gear available is in good nick! The following wings are available as ex-demo gliders or are on the second hand market.
