Finsterwalder UNILOCK paragliding carabiner (pair)
Finsterwalder UNILOCK paragliding carabiner (pair)
Ultralight, universal paragliding carabiner
With a weight of only 45 g and a breaking load of more than 25 kN, the UNILOCK is currently the lightest and at the same time most loadable paragliding carabiners on the market.
In the fatigue test, it endured 2.000 load cycles with an upper load of 252 DaN and subsequently 5 min. load cycles with an upper load of 115,4 DaN. The UNILOCK thus achieves a fatigue strength of 5 years in mono use.
Overview of the Finsterwalder UNILOCK's most important features:
- The snap gate turned by 45° facilitates the attachment to the harness.
- The design in the shape of a “3” with a high stability against twisting.
- The UNILOCK is suitable for both narrow and wide webbing.
- The lower belt chamber has an extra support surface for the hip belt, which slightly raises its position. This has a positive effect on the comfort of the harness.
- Red/green marking simplifies orientation when attaching the risers.
- Gate play individually tested.
Breaking load: 2.500 DaN
Weight: 45 g
Replacement interval: 5 years (mono)

Charly DIAMOND CROSS ST LIGHT rescue system
Superlight, steerable cruciform canopy
The new DIAMONDcross ST from Charly presents three main innovations:
It has a defined forward speed in diagonal direction with the effect of a significantly reduced sink speed. This results on the one hand in a higher aspect ratio compared to conventional cruciform canopies, those propulsion mainly takes place towards one side, and on the other hand in the asymmetrical air flow of the convex sides of the DIAMONDcross canopy, thereby receiving an ascending forced optimised profile.
The horizontal movement, which is typical for every modern round canopy and cruciform canopy, can be steered for the DIAMONDcross ST in a certain direction, if required. Obstacles like e.g. power lines can thus be avoided and an emergency landing field can be precisely approached with a glide ratio of ca. 1:1.5. There are no disadvantages for the DIAMONDcross ST compared with conventional cruciform canopies.
The DIAMONDcross has different line lengths which has the effect that the strips of the canopy don't lie on top of each other when packing the canopy. This diversification causes an easier air inlet when opening and thus an increased opening speed compared to conventional cruciform canopies. The packing of the DIAMONDcross is not more time-consuming or more complex than for a normal cruciform canopy.
The superlight DIAMONDcross ST thus combines the low packing effort of round- and cruciform canopies with the controllability of Rogallo rescue systems. For the DIAMONDcross, there is no risk of a “down plane” immediately after release, that is typical for Rogallo rescue systems even after pre-braking if they open with the top downwards.
The concept of the DIAMONDcross works without pre-braking and therefore the system remains very easy to handle and is reliable.

Drag-chute anti-G Kortel Design
Drag-chute
Not just another anti-G on the market.
The Kortel drag chute has a projected area of 1.6m² and a diameter of approximately 145cm.
It is the largest drag-chute available on the market today, for greater efficiency in rapid descent manoeuvres.
But above all, it has two power positions, allowing it to manage several planes of finesse in a straight line, in order to manage the proximity of an aerial surface or the ceiling while continuing to run.
An exclusive hollow swivel limits the effects of rotation and maintains good sink and recovery characteristics, even after prolonged use.
With a weight of 470g, it has been specially developed for the Kanibal race 2 with its central attachment.
This attachment improves the feel when the drag chute is deployed, stabilizing the harness in yaw and avoiding the jerks generated by a link attachment.
As an indication, at 4G, we reached 12m/s drop rate without the drag-chute, and 20m/s with the drag chute deployed. It therefore allows a significant gain without having to withstand more G's.
(Indicative values, may vary depending on the wing used and the temperature and pressure conditions).
Projected surface area: 1.6m².
Diameter: 145cm
Weight: 470g

Charly Paralock 3
The Charly Paralock 3 is a modern paragliding carabiner that offers numerous advantages and safety features. It can save lives in various dangerous situations.
This new generation carabiner is useful not only during emergency water landings and encountering strong ground winds. The quick-release function for the paraglider can also prevent the dangerous downplaning effect. This is a significant acceleration of the descent speed with an unfolded paraglider after deploying a rescue parachute.

ANTI-G DRAG CHUTE
ANTI-G
The “Anti-G” drag parachute is a safety device that allows safer spiral descents by reducing the G force in a spiral dive. This system is very simple to use and works with any type of glider.
To attach Anti—G to X-Rated 6, a special pocket has been designed, passing from right to left, with a karabiner inside used to attach the
bridle of the small drag chute. This pocket is at the bottom behind the seat; it is easy for the pilot to find as it is located just above the air inlets
on the side of the harness.
To properly use the drag parachute, simply open the zipper on the right or left (depending on which side you intend
to spiral), extract it, and deploy it before initiating the spiral.
The advantages of using it are a higher sink rate and up to a 40% reduction in G-Force.
You can descend in spiral and then disable the drag chute using the handle and land as normal with the Anti-G parachute deployed (butdisabled).
Otherwise, once exiting the spiral, you need to disable it and then put it back in its pocket and close the pocket zipper. At this point it is
ready to be used again.
WARNING:
To ensure correct use of the “Anti-G” parachute it is important that you carefully read and understand the instructions included in the parachute manual.
The “Anti-G” braking parachute is optional equipment and can be purchased separately
