Universal

Universal is the first free flying (EN B) paragliders ever which can be converted by its user into a full-blood paramotor canopy (conforming to the DGAC standard). Universal is a great free-flying recreational paraglider, including cross-country flights. Beginning XC pilots will surely appreciate exceptional comfort in uneasy thermals, resulting from considerable amount of reflex traits present in the design. On activating the trimmers and setting up the ALC+ steering, Universal becomes a full reflex paramotor wing, good for both leisure and cruise flying, thermalling, last but not least for initial paramotor training.

 

No matter what kind of flying you choose, the Universal has a perfect launch, rigid canopy, is pretty agile, nicely handling and safe.

As is the case of all our paragliders, the design draws on our long-time experience, simultaneously incorporating state-of-the-art technologies. The Universal is certified EN-B and LTF-B, and is in last stages of receiving paramotor (DGAC) certificates.

Universal is dedicated for beginner and recreational pilots who fly:
– exclusively free (but want to benefit from moderate reflex ability)
– mostly free, sometimes with paramotor
– both free and paramotor
– mostly with paramotor, sometimes free
– exclusively paramotor (but appreciate better economy, easier launch and
nicer handling than in standard paramotor wing, like Synthesis2)

 

Important for instructors
Universal is perfect for initial PPG training

Ever since successful entry of the Universal on the markets (hundreds sold) we started receiving inquiries and suggestions concerning bigger size. Pilots having confirmed the Universal’s wide speed range (with trimmers) and safety saw it at once as a splendid canopy for light trikes…

Here’s the good news: Universal of 34qm size can be already ordered. The main difference as compared to smaller sizes is lack of speed system (impracticability of speedsystem operations on trikes is compensated by wide trimmer range).
Weight rage: 135-215 kg.
Certificates: DGAC (pending)
Since it will overwhelmingly used with a paramotor, we do not expect to seek the EN tests.

Universal comes with factory-installed trimmers, but (!) t hey are disabled (!), e.g secured with plastic buckle and hidden in a neoprene sock. Along with developing pilot skills, or by the judgement of instructors trimmers can be activated (half, of full), and ALC toggles can be installed (ALC kit included in the bag).
