It is made from high quality 38g\/m2 and 40g\/m2 Porcher cloths, and has easy-handling webbing risers and smooth-running trimmers. It all makes for a robust and easy-to-manage package. Stress-free, the way we like it!<\/p>\n<p>We worked hard to get the launch characteristics of the EPIC 2 MOTOR just right, because no-one likes to struggle in a field with a motor on their back. We think you\u2019ll find the EPIC 2 MOTOR reassuringly easy to launch.<\/p>\n<p>In the air the brake controls are nice and direct, and good feedback encourages active flying so you\u2019ll get the most out of your wing. Like all our wings, it has Progressive Stability: we\u2019ve designed it so that the central section is very resistant to collapses, and it gets progressively less so towards the tips. If you\u2019re surprised by turbulence, a harmless tip-tuck will alert you to conditions and you can react appropriately.<\/p>\n<p>*The EPIC 2 MOTOR is DCAG certified for paramotoring with the trimmers In any positions; it is EN-B certified for free flight only with the trimmers closed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row reverse_position_lg\">\n<div class=\"col-lg-7\">\n<div

Instead of designing and producing prototypes one by one, we can now accurately simulate hundreds of paragliders using our own unique structural\/aero simulation program.
