The ROOKIE is based on the very successful SYNTAX. Main differences:

• Much less lines: we managed to realize a very efficient rigging system: the ROOKIE M has 268m of lines: see tech data!
• More performance: the reduced line drag offers a feelable step forward in performance: specially in the discipline "rising in weak thermals" the Rookie is a class of it's own!
• Less weight, less volume: most of the upper sail is made from 40g/sqm cloth: even better takoff and safety!
• New wing curve, more sail tension and form stability.
• New brake line geometry: these attributes are offering a more agile handling, still continuing very good damping over all axes.
• Hybrid line setup from PPSL and Technora: offering the best from both.
• New color design: the most obvious

What remains the same:

• The airfoil, planform, cell number and line length: this attributes seem to have reached a kind of optimum for this targets.
• The legendary safety: soft collapses, very high stability, very easy in all maneuvers.
• Very high safety in the deep spiral.
• The endless brake travel and the very low stall speed.
• The suitability for beginners.
• The very easy fun, experienced pilots love.
