AirDesign have unveiled the Ronin-Bi, a 2.6kg single-skin tandem aimed at mountaineers looking for the lightest possible means of descent after an ascent. It's also an option for pilots looking for a light tandem for travel or easy hike-and-fly adventures with family. We caught up with French sales manager Niko Assael at the Testival de Pelvoux in the Ecrins, France and asked him about the new wing.
