North Wing Design · Freedom Hang Glider

The FREEDOM is a curved tip, high aspect ratio Hang Glider, performance driven with 35% double surface.  Designed for all pilots in mind, but especially the seasoned advanced pilot that wants a second wing on the vehicle that sets up quick, very easy to fly, comfortable in active air, feels like you can land almost anywhere - and performs substantially better than modern training hill gliders.  A simple, lightweight glider that really performs!  The FREEDOM is a modern performance design "single surface" glider.  Full length mylar-reinforced leading edge, nose cone, and a king post hang system provides light bar pressure for X-C flying.  Three sizes are now available!

SAIL
The sail design of the FREEDOM comes from many years of improving sail cut and shaping techniques, utilized by our sail designs to control twist to get impressive performance without locking up the sail and subsequent handling problems.  Our standard sail is made with high quality 4.1 oz medium finish Dacron sailcloth.  We also have a full race sail option, using Mylar (PX15) in the main body.

FRAME
We use only the best aircraft tubing available.
The FREEDOM uses 7075-T6 tubing for the mainframe and ribs, making our gliders very strong and lightweight.  7075 tubing is imported from Europe, and our 6061-T6 is a seamless drawn domestic tube manufactured to industrial standards or to North Wing's custom specifications that exceed these standards.

Notes from a Freedom pilot...
"I decided to try one of Kamron's Freedom 170.  I got a flight a couple years ago in Chelan, and really liked it and was amazed at the performance.  I have had a few nice flights on it now, so thought I would give my opinion.  The sail work is great and the hardware is simple but very strong.  The sink rate seems very good, and since that first flight it has proven itself even more.  It turns circles very easy with very little roll effort, and is easy to keep in a nice bank.  The glides seems amazing for a single surface and has light bar pressure.  The glider feels very stable and turns on a dime.  Of course launch and landing are very easy but again the glide seems much more than a Falcon, so you need to adjust for landing.  I let the glider slow down then a nice abrupt flare for a no-step landing.  Very happy with this little single surface and look forward to taking it up the lake and maybe to Spokane.  Thanks Kamron, you hit this one perfect!" - Larry Jorgensen
