Paratech PBi6 tandem paraglider
Paratech Pbi6
Paratech have designed their tandem paraglider, the PBi6, for use by recreational tandem pilots as well as professionals who often fly with inexperienced passengers.
Paratech say they have succeeded in further improving the already good launching characteristics of its predecessor, the PBi5. They say the PBi6 “inflates immediately and rises quickly and evenly with no tendency to overshoot, making even the trickiest launches much easier and getting pilot and passenger off the ground without too much awkward running”.
They also say they have optimised the control pressure for tandem use, and the PBi6 offers “the utmost precise and agile handling to guarantee a high level of enjoyment without undue exertion. The glider’s efficient flare capability completes the product”.
The PBi6 is available now in 2 sizes, S (110 – 190 kg) and M (140 – 225 Kg), and three colour combinations.

I do work as Tandem Instructor and pilot and PBi6 M inflate very easy, its really stable in turbulence, but the best is its handling, very soft and precise. Im very interested in a PBi6 but S size for me.
