Designer’s thoughts
My design goal with Pawn was to make good
balanced school glider that will have nice takeoff,
landing and easy flying characteristics. During
design and development process we were
cooperating with local school and instructors,
to discuss and improve the glider. With Pawn
we decide to introduce BPI (back positioned
intake) technology in A class gliders to insure
pilots comfort and safety. Pawn has a nice clean
canopy shape with aspect ratio somewhere in the middle of its
class. Internal constructions is featuring diagonal-ribs for line
reduction and mini-ribs for clean trailing edge shape. Construction
of the whole wing is optimized for maximum robustness and
durability during the school training.

Pawn is EN-A, LTF-A class glider designed for schools,
beginners and intermediate pilots. This glider is developed for
maximum safety. Our effort with this glider was also XC abilities
and we believe, that pilots will have great fun during their first
steps in paragliding and progression toward becoming the new
XC masters.
Certification
The PAWN has passed the European EN-A certification for all
commercially available sizes. The homologation results are
enclosed at the end of this manual.
