A warning 
Paragliding, like any other aviation sport, is an activity associated with increased danger for life 
and health. It is strongly recommended that you take training in a proven paragliding school, as 
well as choose the equipment and flight conditions appropriate to your level of training. 
 
Paraglider FireStarter is liteweight paraglider for XC flights. FireStarter – perfect choice for the 
first step to EN C paraglider class. FireStarter has a very easy and safe behavior for its class 
wing. It also has excellent handling in the thermals - it easily keeps the turn radius in the core 
and at the same time quickly responds to the pilot's control actions without sharpness. Due to the 
new generation wing airfoil with high aerodynamic performances FireStarter received excellent 
pitch stability. 
 
FireStarter is paraglider EN C class, intended for suitable qualification pilots. These pilots must 
be competent enough. FireStarter is not a training wing for unexperienced pilots. 
The FireStarter is for solo pilot use only. It has no possibility to connect for more than one 
harness. 

Paragliding is a particularly nature-friendly sport. This makes it all the more important that we as paraglider pilots 
behave in a responsible way towards both the environment and the people sharing it with us. Please also make sure 
to comply with legislation regarding protected areas, privately owned property or hunting arenas – this ensures the 
least possible friction in relation to other users of the great outdoors, to the benefit of both yourself and the sport as a 
whole.
