Skyline Falcon intermediate paraglider
Skyline Falcon intermediate paraglider
Skyline’s new low-end intermediate wing, the Falcon, has been certified EN B (LTF 1-2) in all 4 sizes (24, 26, 27, 29, covering 65 – 125 kg all up weights) with smaller sizes and a lightweight version due for the spring.
The innovative leading edge design uses nylon sticks and almost no mylar reinforcements, which Skyline say gives it very easy launching behaviour. They add that its sensitive and direct handling and stability ensure no nasty surprises in extreme flight manoeuvres, and its new profile gives it good speed and performance, thus the Falcon is “suitable for every recreational pilot”.
The Falcon sports the ‘birds of prey’ design, and is available in 3 colour combinations.
