The LUNA paramotor wing (on full reflex) has a cool anti-shooting/collapsing behaviour
01-07-2013
We have been testing the reflex behaviour of our LUNA paramotor wing at blown out Gourdon and it has been reacting as expected! When we pushed the wing to overshoot the pilot it doesn’t frontal and just flies back into position. Amazing. The Luna is now available for pre-order,...

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...

Volo faccia a faccia in parapendio - 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...
È uscito il primo Wasp nella combinazione colori 'Coral'
20-02-2013
Il Wasp è stato annunciato con 3 schemi di colorazione nuovi rispetto al Tala e uno di questi è lo schema Coral. Abbiamo appena visto la prima vela e ne siamo molto soddisfatti dell'aspetto. È una combinazione di colori nuova e molto forte e dalle reazioni qui nei dintorni pensiamo che riscuoterà...
Tala L passa i test in volo e i testi di carico.
18-02-2013
Oggi il Tala L ha completato i testi in volo con la Air Turquoise a Villeneuve in Svizzera, passando senza problemi con un omologazione EN-C sia per il peso massimo che per il peso minimo. Restano ancora da essere valutate le taglie S e ML le quali prove saranno completate a Marzo 2013.
Tala L ha appena passato le prove di carico in Svizzera
11-02-2013
I test di carico del Tala sono stati ritardati dal maltempo in Svizzera durante Gennaio e inizio Febbraio. Finalmente dopo 3 mesi di attesa il Tala L è stato messo alla prova dalla Air Turquiose a Payerne il 9 Febbraio 2013. Ha tenuto fino a un carico massimo impressionante di 1300kg. La media durante...
Una giornata passata a testare il Tala a Greolieres con un Miniplane
01-02-2013
Il Tala non è stato progettato come vela da paramotore, ma abbiamo voluto provarlo a motore per assicurarci che volasse bene anche sotto spinta. Abbiamo montato delle bretelle con trim per annullare l'effetto coppia del motore ma devo dire che l'effetto coppia era comunque pressoché indistinguibile. Abbiamo...
Tala M passa le prove in volo
09-12-2012
La settimana scorsa il Tala M ha passato le prove in volo in Svizzera col pilota collaudatore Alan Zoller. Si è classificata con una B nella gran parte delle categorie di omologazione, e una C nella prova dell'escursione utile dei freni. La prova dei freni è una misura dell'escursione utile in...
Ottenere 'La Bibbia del SIV'
16-10-2012
Sto ricevendo diverse domande da persone che stanno avendo problemi ad ordinare la Bibbia del SIV. La prima cosa che serve è un iPad. Non si può visualizzare il libro su un Mac o un iPhone al momento. Il motivo per questo è che il Mac e l'iPhone leggono entrambi formati diversi dall'iPad. Solo...
Tala: Recensione e Voli
27-09-2012
Il nostro bancone a St. Hilaire rappresentava BGD, Airwave e anche la Bibbia del SIV. Qui noterete mio figlio, Tyr, mentre controlla un aeromobile giocattolo radiocomandato Airwave Shark ripieno di elio che galleggia sopra il nostro bancone. A St. Hilaire abbiamo ricevuto le prime impressioni esterne...
