From wing root to wing tip: The patented joint system adapts to the profile of the glider type during the cleaning process.

At a glance:

• A bug wiper for all types of glider.
• Aerodynamic shape.
• Streamlined, therefore minimum resistance.
• Fiber reinforced plastics with high strength.
• No buckling and no twisting of the components.
• UV-resistant.
• Double guided cleaning fialments: cleans efficiently and glides stably.
• Rests against the profile above and below the wings during the cleaning process.
• Fast mounting.

The BWS Flexiwiper can be retrofitted to almost any glider. For all Schempp-Hirth gliders, the retrival line is routed below the wing. Only this option is available in this shop. Before ordering for another type of glider, you have to consider whether the retrieval line is routed above or below the wing.

The package includes:

• 1 left and 1 right bug wiper inclusive fialments.
• 2 x tilt bracket to fit the fuselage.
• Installation manual.
