Finsterwalder Funfex

The Finsterwalder Funfex is a German high-wing, single-place, hang glider, designed and produced by Finsterwalder.

Design and development
The Funfex and the smaller-sized Airfex are intended as man-packable double-surface intermediate gliders for recreational cross-country flying. As such the Funfex weighs only 24 kg and can be reduced to a folded size of 1.95 m

The aircraft is made from aluminum tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 9.4 m span wing is cable braced from a single kingpost. The nose angle is 120° and the aspect ratio is 5.5:1.
