1. CHARACTERISTICS
1.1 WHO IS IT DESIGNED FOR?
The ROLLER is intended for speedflying aficionados and is ideal for
those pilots able to fly actively. It can be used as a primary or secondary
wing.
The versatility of this wing means the pilot is not limited to quick
descents, but it can also be used to have fun turning in thermals, soaring,
practicing carving or long flights in strong winds up to 70km/h.
It is important to note that speedflying should only be undertaken
by trained pilots. It is essential in terms of safety that the pilot skill is
commensurate with the ‘benefits’ of the wing and/or the objectives the
pilot wants to achieve.
The control, safety and freedom provided by the ROLLER depend
directly on the skill level of the pilot.
The pilotage requirements for this wing mean that it is only for
experienced pilots. And depending on the size/weight, it is intended only
for expert pilots.
‘Not recommended for newly-qualified pilots’
We strongly recommend that beginners seek the advice of qualified
instructors and coaches during their learning.
We encourage pilots from other disciplines to use the assistance of
professionals as well as common sense when commencing speedflying.
The ROLLER is a wing designed for a large target group of pilots in order
to enjoy the experience of speed.

- Description of EN C class wing characteristics :
Paragliders with moderate passive safety, potentially dynamic reactions
to turbulence and pilot errors. The recovery to normal flight may require
precise interventions by the pilot.
- Description of the pilot skills required for an EN C wing:
Designed for pilots familiar with recovery techniques, who fly actively and
understand the implications of flying a glider with reduced passive safety.
