Epsilon5 » Intro » Detail » Color

Technical details The Epsilon 5 is a superb wing for lengthy thermal flights. Due to its high performance, it allows for excellent cross-country flights. Moreover, because of its performance profile, we were able to reduce the aspect ratio, thus making this glider comfortable to fly for less experienced pilots as well Features of the EPSILON 5 Excellent lift and smooth handling in thermal conditions High performance up to top speed Pitch stability & great amount of passive safety Flawless take off characteristics Efficient big ear kit The very high passive safety of the EPSILON 5 will help inexperienced pilots to raise the aeronautical horizon and to take the first Steps towards XC flying. Due to its great performance, this glider is the perfect choice for pilots who are flying less and looking for a glider classified in a different category. Due to its superb safety potential, the EPSILON 5 is recommended to advanced and talented paragliding student as well. Optimized Risers The EPSILON 5 features separated A-risers. Due to the innovative Quick-Snap system, they are automatically snapped together and detach following take off to assume the correct position ensuring a proper and precise wing profile. Moreover, the optimized risers allow for facilitated ground handling. Together with the new line geometry these Risers allow a very easy realization of the big ear manoeuvre. These risers are offered in two different lengths. For easier and safer handling by smaller pilots, canopy sizes 23 and 25 are being equipped with shorter risers (difference 4 cm) and smaller brake handles than the canopy sizes 28 and 31. Efficient and smooth speed system with SPI A speed/performance scale which is printed on each D riser assists to determine the optimum speed system position. SPI is the link between practise and theory, so you are always flying at the optimum cruising speed! New line geometry The line geometry has been refined for the EPSILON 5. A reduction in total line material means less resistance, improved line control and effective translation of the speed system to the wing profile. The new line geometry offers a bigger efficiency in the big ear manoeuvre.
