Record 2 2020-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Skydiving, Paragliding and Hang Gliding
CONT

Without argument a school glider needs to be very stable. Not only does the school glider need to resist collapses, but it also should make the pilot feel secure, and not be too sensitive to weight shift input through the harness.

CONT

First impressions of the Tempus are much as expected for a beginner wing: a solid feel and brake pressures to match. The wing communicates what the air is doing but doesn’t scare you when it becomes rough.

OBS

Although the term "paraglider" generally refers to the entire aircraft assembly, paraglider pilots often used the term "paraglider" in specific contexts as a synonym of "wing" and "canopy," in which case it refers to the self-inflating structure made of non-porous fabric and not to the entire assembly.

  • beginner’s glider
