The
Velvet is a unique paramotoring glider and was designed for a wide range
of intermediate and advanced paramotoring pilots looking for relaxed
flying.
Easy launch and
landing, a high amount of stability and a good cruising speed were our
goals when creating this glider.
The slim
elliptical form of the canopy has an aspect ratio of 5.5. The Velvet has
56 cells with full diagonals. Lines are attached to every third rib and
this construction allows the lines to be reduced to two tiers. The
serial production version of the Velvet is equipped with rear-riser
trimmers with a 5 cm range to compensate torque.(-2 cm to decelerate the
glider and +3 cm to accelerate the glider). Additionally the risers are
split to facilitate Big Ears. The positioning of the outermost “A” line
makes progressive closure easy. Launching characteristics are typical
of all MAC PARA gliders. The R&D team paid extra attention to the
handling of the glider during take off and to the landing flare. This
characteristic offers the pilot easy landings in nil-wind conditions
even when heavily loaded. The light brake pressure allows pleasant turns
during long flights, but increases progressively toward the end of its
travel to offer safety reserves. The glider is undemanding and
resistant to collapse even in rough air thanks to the customized
semi-reflex airfoils. It features excellent stability throughout the
full weight and speed range. The canopy is moderately damped in all
axes and offers flexibility and agility in turns. It does not overshoot
or sit back. The Velvet can also be flown without a motor. Thanks to the
serial trimmers, its sink rate can be decreased. With closed trimmers is
its climbing performance is at a similar level to normal paragliders.
With this baby you can soar in light lift, thermal in all conditions,
and do cross country flights. We pay great attention to small details.
The Velvet is equipped as standard with especially soft brake handles
with a swivel, magnetic clips and Velcro.
Thanks to the
Velcro, placing the handles on the risers in flight or during take-off
preparation is much easier. Velcro closures on the wingtips make access
easier to remove any sand, grass or small stones from the glider.
The Velvet can
be equipped with special PPG risers featuring a longer rear-riser
trimmer with a +9cm range for additional speed. There is no EN
Certification when fitted with these PPG risers.
The Velvet is
available in three sizes and covering a total weight range of 70 to 150
kg. Please check the specifications for full details.
The use of high-quality materials and constant quality control
throughout the manufacturing process combined with consistent
development work produces high quality products. We are proud of them
