Weight range
The XI comes out in five sizes. The weight ranges for the different wing
sizes are listed in the “Technical Data“ section. The figures given the-
re refer to total take-off weight. This includes the pilot’s body weight in-
cluding clothing, as well as the weight of all the equipment (paraglider,
harness, instruments, etc. – everything that’s going to fly).
Seamless Weight Ranges
The XI was planned for Seamless (continuous) weight ranges, with no
overlapping. These arrange that any particular flying weight features in
only one glider size. These XI Ideal takeoff Weight Ranges provide the
best comprise between speed and climbing performance for all normal
conditions, for each glider size.
For special requirements the choice of size still remains in the over-
lapping sections of the wider Certified Weight Ranges, as for previous
models.
Flying outside the Seamless Weight Ranges, in other words near the
lower or upper certified weight limits, can alter a paraglider’s flying be-
haviour and handling, but without affecting your safety. Glide perfor-
mance remains the same over a complete weight range, but climb per-
formance is altered.
If the XI is flown outside its Seamless Weight Range, in the upper part
of its Certified Weight Range, the higher wing loading will raise its trim
speed and produce more dynamic and agile flying characteristics.
