New Wings

After much research we are changing the wings we are flying from Paramania Action GT’s to Paramania ‘Revolutions’-

The revolutions will be less spongey at high altitude as they can be smaller due to their design. They are also more stable, though less fast, and in the opinion of Mike Campbell-Jones who owns and runs Paramania, ultimately more suitable. (Speed in the tin air is less of an issue than stability in the mountain rotor).

Attempting to fly powered paragliders this high is new territory for all of us- wing manufacturers included- and this is what these trials are all about. The new wings are being branded and custom made as we speak and will be ready next week for trials.
