U-Turn Bodyguard II XL or tandem paraglider
U-Turn Bodyguard II XL now certified for tandem use
U-Turn have now had their XL Bodyguard II paraglider certified LTF 1 / EN A for solo and tandem use.
Representing, says U-Turn, the ultimate combination of safety and fun, the Bodyguard II incorporates U-Turns’s AFS (Active Flying System), which automatically flies actively for you, to a point. Developed alongside experienced flying instructors it was one of their innovations designed to create the safest glider possible for students to learn on. Despite this, U-Turn say, designer Ernst Strobl has managed to improve the performance and agility of the wing as well.
Thanks to the use of innovative, lighter-weight Porcher cloth on both upper and lower surfaces, the 34.2 m2 canopy only weighs 6 kg. The XL is certified for take-off weights from 120 to 150 kg, and is available in four color combinations.
