Technical description: The Velvet is a unique paramotoring glider and was designed for a wide range of intermediate and advanced paramotoring pilots looking for relaxed flying.
Easy launch and landing, a high amount of stability and a good cruising speed were our goals when creating this glider.
The slim elliptical form of the canopy has an aspect ratio of 5.5. The Velvet has 56 cells with full diagonals. Lines are attached to every third rib and this construction allows the lines to be reduced to two tiers. The serial production version of the Velvet is equipped with rear-riser trimmers with a 5 cm range to compensate torque.(-2 cm to decelerate the glider and +3 cm to accelerate the glider). Additionally the risers are split to facilitate Big Ears. The positioning of the outermost “A” line makes progressive closure easy. Launching characteristics are typical of all MAC PARA gliders. The R&D team paid extra attention to the handling of the glider during take off and to the landing flare. This characteristic offers the pilot easy landings in nil-wind conditions even when heavily loaded. The light brake pressure allows pleasant turns during long flights, but increases progressively toward the end of its travel to offer safety reserves. The glider is undemanding and resistant to collapse even in rough air thanks to the customized semi-reflex airfoils. It features excellent stability throughout the full weight and speed range. The canopy is moderately damped in all axes and offers flexibility and agility in turns. It does not overshoot or sit back. The Velvet can also be flown without a motor. Thanks to the serial trimmers, its sink rate can be decreased. With closed trimmers is its climbing performance is at a similar level to normal paragliders. With this baby you can soar in light lift, thermal in all conditions, and do cross country flights. We pay great attention to small details. The Velvet is equipped as standard with especially soft brake handles with magnetic clips and Velcro. We don’t use swivels on the Velvet brake lines to minimize the risk of damage to the propeller if the handle contacts it.
Thanks to the Velcro, placing the handles on the risers in flight or during take-off preparation is much easier. Velcro closures on the wingtips make access easier to remove any sand, grass or small stones from the glider.
The Velvet can be equipped with special PPG risers featuring a longer rear-riser trimmer with a +9cm range for additional speed. There is no EN Certification when fitted with these PPG risers.
The Velvet is available in three sizes and covering a total weight range of 70 to 150 kg. Please check the specifications for full details.
