Another crazy castle takeoff at Segura de la Sierra during the FIA El Yelmo festival
30-05-2013
This was during the monumental acro show for the FIA El Yelmo festival 2013. Ant Green went off first followed by a load of crazy acro pilots! It was a good show for the public!
Ant took the Wasp off the Castle this year for the Monumental Acro Show and nailed the take-off, again.
29-05-2013
After a huge road trip out to Cortijos Nuevos, Spain, Ant arrived to some exceptional flying conditions for the 14th edition of the FIA El Yelmo festival. The organization decided to hold the event a little earlier in the year and it really paid off. Pilots were greeted with beautiful spring conditions...

Face à face vol en parapent - Monaco

A Green & Goldsmith tea party over Monaco... or filming a interview.
The first production Tala's have arrived with pilots worldwide.
02-04-2013
The first production Tala's have spread across the world and we are getting very interesting feedback from the dealers and customers. There appears to be a common thread in their experiences. So far 10 Tala M's are out there and this is what 4 of those ten had to say about their wings: - Tivoli, Rome,...
Acro tests at Gourdon on the Tala M
05-03-2013
Gourdon is more snowy than normal, with nearly half a meter of snow on take-off. This day we went out to do some Acro manouvers on the Tala to see how it handles them. From the video you can see that the SAT is really good with an amazingly low sink rate. The Tala also does heli's but due to the...
The first Wasp in colour 'Coral' is out
20-02-2013
The Wasp has been announced with three new colour schemes compared to the Tala and one of these is Coral. We have just see the first one and we are all pretty happy with the way it looks. Its quite a new strong colour combination and from the reaction around here we think it will probably be very...
Tala L passes flight tests as well as the load test.
18-02-2013
Today the Tala L completed the flight tests with Air Turquoise in Villeneuve in Switzerland, passing EN-C with both bottom and top weight without issues. The S and ML still remain to be tested and they are both scheduled to be completed in March 2013.
Tala L has just passed the load test in Switzerland
11-02-2013
The load test of the Tala was delayed due to bad weather in Switzerland during January and also for the start of February. Finally after three weeks of waiting the Tala L was tested in Payerne by Air Turquiose on the 9th February 2013. She went up to an impressive 1300kg peak loading. The overall...
A day testing the Tala in Greolieres with a Miniplane
01-02-2013
The Tala is not designed as a paramotor wing, but we wanted to test it to make sure that it goes well under power. I fitted trimmer risers on the glider so that we could trim out the torque effect, but I must say that I did not notice any torque effect anyway. We also flew with trimmers released...
Tala M passes flight tests
09-12-2012
Last week the Tala M passed the flight tests in Switzerland with Alan Zoller. It was B in most categories and received a C in the brake range test. The brake range test is a measure of the range of the brakes in cm from when the brakes first come on to the stall point. The range should be...
Getting 'The SIV Bible'
16-10-2012
I am getting quite a few questions from people who are having trouble getting hold of the SIV Bible. First thing is that you need an iPad. You cannot look at the book on a Mac or an iphone at the moment. The reason for this is that the Mac and iphone both read different formats to the iPad. Only...
Tala feedback and flights
27-09-2012
Our stand at St Hilaire represented BGD, Airwave and the SIV Bible. Here Tyr, my son, can be seen radio controlling the Airwave Shark helium filled blimp which floated around above our stand. At St Hilaire we got the first feedback on the new Tala colour scheme. There was an overwhelming preference...
