This is the second incarnation of the Gracchio, an intermediate wing that is aimed at, “pilots looking to start cross-country. It’s not for pilots straight out of school, but those with 200 or so flights. Like a pure B wing.” A quick look at the specs shows this is a complete redesign rather than a slightly reworked version of the original. We flew the wing in the south of France including testing the C-stall as a descent technique.
