Let's talk about Sir Edmund's basic facts and his flight characteristics. https://vimeo.com/186226612

The first size available of Sir Edmund is 20m2 and it is certified according to LTF and EN B. That wing is made for a weight range of 70 to 100kg. With it's unbelievable weight of only 1,58kg it currently is the lightest available single-skin AND additionally it possesses the complete flight and load test capability.

At take-off Sir Edmund shows a persuasive, easy handling. A short and slight impulse is enough to make Sir Edmund stand stable above the pilot's head - without any tendency to break out or dash forward. The handling is pretty much straight forward, so that you can easily circle in thermals. Glider available from DSC 2017

Hike & Fly Macpara new glider.

https://vimeo.com/259821639

There is no doubt of the extraordinary performance and very easy flight behaviour.
The Outback is the best performing ultralight paraglider available on the market.
Have a closer look at the certification reports and you will discover That with the exception of fullly developed spiral dive which gained a “B” all other manoeuvres gained a n “A”.
All this for wide weight range starting from 55 up to 105 kg.

A versatile wing for the Hike and Fly pilot.

The Outback is light and easy to thermal for an intermediate pilot.
Easy to carry and handle for hike & fly or para-alpinism adventurers.
Fast and dynamic as a mini wing for experts when higher loaded. It is precise with a high amount of speed and dynamic. An ideal partner for high wind ridge or coastal soaring.
Enjoy the short movie from the Stubai valley.
