  The Quasar 2000 is a series of Czech high-wing, single-place, hang gliders that was designed and produced by Quasar of Dolní Bečva. Now out of production, when the series was available the models were each supplied complete and ready-to-fly.
  
  ## Design and development
  
  The 2000 is made from aluminum tubing, with the double-surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The nose angle for all models is 132°. The models are each named for their wing area in square metres.
