Charger 2 Trike
Quality you can trust
Charger 2 continues on the success story and good reputation won by Charger 1. Just the perfect glider for powered flying. The easy start and flight characteristics have won the hearts of many paramotor pilots. Based on the Charger 2, we again developed the Charger 2 Trike designed for flying with heavy tandem trikes.
Great performance
The glider is resistant to collapses even in rough air and provides good performance thanks to the customized reflex airfoils. The smooth shape of the airfoil nose is maintained by smart lasting combination of Mylar reinforcement and nitinol rods. The additional unique reinforcing system of the leading edge and mini ribs on trailing edge provide an advantage that is resulting in a smooth ride with exceptional penetration. The Charger 2 Trike features excellent stability throughout the full weight and speed range. The canopy is well dampened without roll tendencies, but offers good flexibility and agility in turns. The Charger 2 Trike is suitable for a wide range of trike units.
Great attention to details
The serial risers feature trimmers on D and A straps and two pulley settings for low or high brakes adjustments. The Charger comes standardly equipped with ergonomically thin, semi-rigid brake handles, including swivels, neodymium magnets and rubber lines. The longer range of trim system offers you more safety and control of speed when you have a lighter passenger or when the wind is strong. Maximum speed can be achieved with trimmers on D straps fully released and trimmers on A straps fully closed. Convenient self-cleaning exit “holes” on the wing tips will help remove any sand, grass or small stones from the glider.
For order the Charger Trike can be fitted with a special iron/aluminum spreader bar. The angle of attack is changed from adjustment system placed on the trike. See photo Charger Trike spreader bar.
Quality you can Trust
The use of high-quality materials and constant quality control throughout the manufacturing process produces high quality products. We use a combination of Dynema / Aramid-Kevlar lines of proven series that guarantee correct geometry of your canopy throughout its life.
You can choose from three serial designs. And if you have different color preferences, you have the luxury of making your own design! Through the use of high-grade materials along with constant attention to quality control throughout MACPARA’S manufacturing process you are assured of getting a superbly crafted paraglider.
The Charger 2 Trike is guaranteed to energize you!
