Hybrid Sport – Pure freedom
The Hybrid Sport is a revolution in the
sports of paragliding and speedflying. It
blends the two sports and allows pilots to
switch from paraglider to speedglider at any
stage during flight.
The latest expertise from the areas of
paragliding and speedflying have been
incorporated in the development of the
Hybrid Sport. This allows a high dynamic
level when flying with a very high level of
passive safety.
The Hybrid Sport has a pure speedflying
profile, which is extremely stable. However,
the higher aspect ratio compared to a
speedglider and the new 3-line concept
allow much better performance, which in
turn considerably reduces sink when
turning. This makes thermalling possible
and, for dynamic soaring, not much more
wind is needed than with a paraglider.
The high performance also noticeably
reduces the launch distance which is
otherwise usual for this wing-loading with a
speedglider. The Hybrid Sport has very
simple rising and inflation behaviour
because of the nylon sticks in the leading
edge. They also reduce the pack weight.
Line system
The Hybrid Sport has a revolutionary line
concept. The Hybrid Sport was designed as
a 3-liner, which in itself noticeably reduces
line drag. The well thought-out suspension
means that the Hybrid Sport has only two
main lines per level. This means: 2 A-lines,
2 B-lines + stabilo lines and 2 C- lines. This
gives the pilot a clear view when sorting
lines which has not been possible before.
Fewer lines also means there is less risk of
the lines becoming knotted.
WARNING
The mini wing is delivered ex factory
with the Maillon quick links secured
using a strong thread-locking
compound Loctite

to prevent
unintentional opening. After service
work, quick links which have been
opened must be secured again against
unintentional opening.
WARNING
The service intervals for the lines given
in the Maintenance and Service book
must be observed under all
circumstances.
