The new Seedwings Funky offers the latest and safest technology, built into an easy to fly machine that will appeal not only to the beginner but also the recreational pilot.

The development of the new Funky has been assisted strongly by the extensive research and development that went into the successful Spyder series, the continuation of the Seedwings quality

The new Funky series 15 / 17 has been designed for all pilots but especially for the beginner that requires that little bit extra when taking their first steps. The combination of a performing glider that's light and very easy to handle.

With Seedwings unique computer designed aero foil, the take off and landing characteristics are reassuringly light and simple. A must for the beginner or a pilot wanting to fly again after a long break.

Seedwings have used the same built in pitch system technology with the Funky as is used with there Spyder series. A tried an tested system that works! In fact, most of the precision parts from the Spyder have been used in the production of the funky, e.g.: Complete A-frame, speed bar, batten clips and complete aluminum Perunal 70/75 frame material.

  • Matrix material leading edge
  • Batten clip system
  • Fibre glass tip systems (for short packing)
  • Profiled A-frame
  • Cross batten sewn into sail

"I would seriously consider trading back down from my Discus. I'd give up a ton of performance, penetration and XC potential, but a curved tip SS(Single Surface) glider is the most effortless, thought-free flying one can have. All you have to do is think about where you want to go and your there."
