UP Meru
The UP Meru is a sophisticated cross-country / competition glider, with excellent stability and performance. Made from durable, lightweight materials combined with an intricate design, the Meru has been designed for record breaking cross country flights and top-level competitions.
Handling is direct and sharp. It's agility and communication mean that pilots will find thermals faster and climb more efficiently. With optimized attachment points, 84 cells, and a super clean leading edge, the Meru is a true thermal surfer. Complex internal structure combined with two-liner pitch control make the Meru very stable at speed, with excellent performance into a headwind.
Controlling the MERU with the B-Risers is intuitive and effective, allowing the pilot to keep the speed-bar engaged with confidence, arriving at the next thermal higher and faster. The speed-bar pressure is light allowing for less fatigue, and longer flying days.
