P LHOTSE²

The Lhotse² is the second generation of our very successful EN-B wing in lightweight construction. It is based on the Kibo² and thanks to its light weight construction, it is the perfect companion for all H&F, bivouac, and travel adventures. 

The Lhotse² will amaze you in flight with its appealing, beautiful, precise handling and maneuverability. Additionally, the excellent climbing and performance will tempt you to fly more cross country. 

The lightweight design will impress you even more when you carry it on your shoulders.

What's new?

As with the Kibo², the Lhotse² has many new technical features. The negative 3D panel shaping invented by our designer Franta Pavlousek gives our light mid-B a clean leading edge. Using technology already proven successful with our 2-line models, we have improved the performance within the B class. 

To achieve this, the number of cells have been increased and the rods in the leading edge are slightly longer. Like all of the latest UP glider models, the seams of the mini ribs are hidden on the Lhotse². Compared to its predecessor, we were able to reduce the weight of our new lightweight glider between 100-200 grams. 

The Lhotse² will now be available in a fourth size for the lightweights among the glider pilots.

Optic 2 Light

Optic 2 Light is a light three-row cross-country/recreational paraglider of 5,50 aspect ratio and 51 cells. 

It is recommended for pilots who want to fly a lot and grow, capitalizing on its outstanding performance. 

The paraglider offers EN/LTF B class safety, confirmed by according certificates.

The canopy structure is reinforced with rigid rods (Flexi Edge Technology) as well as mini-ribs on the trailing edge, truly representing, smoothing and stabilizing the airfoil at all speeds. Another solution improving both the aerodynamics and stability is the Shark Nose. Stabilo has been modified too.

All these technologies come from the racing canopies and combined with 3-row rigging give the paraglider large passive safety margin and exceptional aerodynamic performance.

CONNECT REVERSE 3

…even better!

The CONNECT REVERSE 3 with the Deuter® carrying system “Alpine Back” and many new features!

The third generation of the classic CONNECT REVERSE is available in four sizes, instead of the three sizes there have been previously. This makes it even more comfortable for pilots, since the geometry for the different sizes could be further refined. 

The well-proven design of this popular convertible harness was retained in principle, but a number of aspects were improved e.g. simplified conversion, speed bar retractor and trekking pole loops.

The optional new LIGHTSHIELD provides additional protection for the upper back area and, together with the airflow-independent airbag, forms a protective shield around the pilot’s back for better protection.

The “Alpine Back” carrying system made by backpack specialist Deuter® is of course used in the CONNECT REVERSE 3 as well, which guarantees unequaled carrying comfort. 

The CONNECT REVERSE 3 harmonizes perfectly with the new generation of RAST gliders with its ideal balance between comfort and agility, making it the number one choice for anyone looking for a durable and comfortable harness for extended hike & fly tours, travelling or simply for everyday flying.

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

We are happy to invite you to a complete paragliding training consisting of all the obligatory stages neccessary to obtain Parsglider Pilot License in Poland!

The training program has been approved by the Civil Aviation Authority. You will gain the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge and  perform 20 low paragliding flights at an altitude of less than 100 meters, and then during the second stage at least 10 independent flights at an altitude of over 200 meters.
In addition, the program of this training also includes learning to take off in the mountain - from a paragliding take-off hill at "Garb Pińczowski", located only a few hundred meters away!
The training will be held in stationary mode with the use of the paragliding winch and from mountain take-offs. Both stages of the training take place mainly at the Regional Aero Club in Pińczów.
It is a beautifully situated place between the water reservoir and the meanders of the Nida River. Here you will not only learn to fly, but you will meet wonderful people, feel a real air atmosphere, have a good time and rest from the everyday hustle and bustle in close contact with nature.

We train in small groups so that we can devote enough attention to each of our students and not waste your precious time waiting for the next flights.

Graduates of our course can count on our further support, flying together, advice on equipment selection and a 5% discount on a new set of flying equipment!

Marlin 2

You are learning to fly. You are a part of an organised group, but it still takes up a lot of your time because there is much waiting for proper weather conditions. With too much wind you can't control your paraglider, pulling you up and around. 

The instructor has to call a break since it's no good neither for you nor the canopy.

If only the winds were lighter… but there is nothing you can do about that. Or is it? What if you could find a much smaller wing, behaving much as a standard one, yet safe to launch in these conditions? And not causing such a stress when dragged through pools and mud nearby?

We have such a wing for you and your instructor. It’s called MARLIN 2 – a dedicated training wing.

STING RS – just fly!

Simply take an evening flight around and over your own home. Climb to the clouds after take-off in the flatlands and enjoy a serene glide with the engine switched off – the STING RS makes your dreams come true!

The STING RS is a comfortable and simple dual-purpose ppg-glider, that will accompany your flying career from the first training lessons to a licensed recreational/XC pilot.

The STING RS is primarily made for foot launch.

But the STING RS also cuts a great figure, whether you’re on holiday in the mountains or on the coast, due to its excellent free flight characteristics. Combine this with its certification level and the Sting RS will afford you a safe introduction to thermal flying or coastal soaring.

Suitable for paramotor and free flight

Usable for training without restrictions

RAST – more control and comfort

DGAC registration and EN/LTF certified (classification A/B) 

MIURA RS

…one glider, two classes!

The best paraglider is whichever one is best suited to the particular pilot.

We developed the MIURA RS for ambitious pilots who are looking for a glider with excellent properties in thermal flight, which they can use to perfect their skills over a number of years.

Already in the development phase the XC-Allrounder became the absolute favorite glider of our test pilots with its direct and precise handling.

The challenge we faced when developing the MIURA RS was to create a glider with enough performance for ambitious beginners to be able to get into thermalling and cross-country flying, but which still had the feeling of safety and comfort during flight found in a basic intermediate wing.

As soon as we had tested the first prototypes, we knew that the MIURA RS was more than just an ordinary basic intermediate glider. Performance and handling reveal B category genes but, with moderate use of the speed system, its behavior in terms of safety is consistent with that of a glider in the A category.

For this reason we decided to have the MIURA RS certified twice: firstly as an A category glider suitable for training, and secondly as a basic intermediate with its benefits of the extended speed range. This is possible by adding or unmounting the speed limiter, which pilots can do themselves in just a few seconds.

If you decide to buy the MIURARS, you don’t have to choose one or the other!

QUADRO LIGHT

With the Quadro 100 light and Quadro 115, are the rescue chutes you have been looking for.

The demand for light equipment is growing, so it was time to come up with a product that meet this need.

Use limitation 15 years

Our rescue system QUADRO have a lifer span of 15 Years by observance of the regulations for packing and checking. Certification is no longer

valid thereafter.

The certified life span can be extended by a further 3 years, if the rescue system is checked by the manufacturer.

ATTENTION:

Packing and checks of the rescue system must be documented otherwise

guarantee is cancelled.

These excellent results could be achieved by using the most modern and highest quality material from Germany:

-  Ultralight high-strength water-repellent cloth by UTT

-  light and extremely break-resistant linen by Liros

-  high-quality binding tapes from Güth & Wolf

The Quadro was certified in accordance with the strict and globally recognized EN standards at Air Turquoise in Switzerland.

Anyone in need of a pendulum-stable rescue with low sinking speed and extremely light dead weight will choose a Quadro rescue.

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.
