The POISON 2 currently represents the absolute pinnacle of skywalk Paraglider
development. The specifications for the successor to the well-established and
successful POISON 1 were manifold but clearly defined by our Test and Competition
Pilots and through ongoing customer feedback.
The top requirement was to achieve maximal performance in Gütesiegel-certification.
For experienced Pilots the first priority remains flyable performance, speed- above all,
but without losing the solid climbing characteristics of the POISON 1. Naturally, a
glider of this class retains the established JET FLAPS as part of the package.
The POISON 2 speaks to the experienced cross-country and competition Pilot. With our
constantly developing software, we’ve made large gains with the canopy quality, direct-
ly benefiting the glide performance.
Through a novel process called 3-D Ballooning, it is now possible for us to go into even
more detail in the design of the canopy. The result- the canopy now exhibits extraordi-
nary performance during high-speed flight as well as an above average stability.
The POISON 2 sets a benchmark among lightweight Gliders, made possible by the
worldwide debut of the novel cloth, Aerofabrix AL29, as well as with skytex27,
manufactured by Porcher Marine.
A sensationally low weight of approx. 5 kg is responsible for the amazingly manageable
extreme flight characteristics, for a high performance glider with almost 70 cells.
