Dudek have unveiled their latest reflex cross-country paramotor wing: it’s fast and agile, like the particle it is named after, and intended for experienced pilots.
Dudek say the Hadron XX is for competitions, long cross countries, slaloming and thermalling, but they recommend pilots should have 100 paramotor hours logged before they are ready for one.
A thoroughly modern design, the Hadron XX has a sharknose, trailing edge mini-ribs and three sections of reinforcements (two on the leading edge and one on the back), and a 23% reduction in lines compared to the Hadron. It also sports Dudek’s Aerodynamical Flaps System, which Dudek say make for easy take-off and landing even at high altitudes, as well as better use of thermal lift.
By an additional little trimmer you can partially modify the aerofoil (like flaps in the aircraft). Before attempting actions like take-off or landing in nil wind conditions, or thermal flying, the little trimmers should be pulled in(system active).
At all other flight parts little trimmer should be opened (inactive).
The Hadron XX’s risers are ready to mount a Power Attack (Paap Kolar) system on (this is an optional extra).
All Dudek’s wings are built in their factory in Poland, using the latest laser-cuting equipment. The Hadron XX will be available in four sizes, in Dudek’s four ‘elements’ colour schemes.
