Construction
The Lines
The bottom line set is made of pre-stretched Dyneema hot and wrapped end, the gain in drag is significant. The top line set is wrapped to facilitate sorting and provide greater resistance to abrasion.
Option is available in the WHIZZ unsheated lines, this option reduces the weight of 180-200 grams.
Risers
The Whizz comes as standard with risers specially designed for easy grip and reduce takeoff weight.
Optional risers 100% dyneema could be ordered.
Canopy
Diagonal provide excellent holding for non lined profiles while maintaining the weight of wing low.
Manufacturing quality is signed NERVURES: double stitching, internal hems,gallon trailing edge...
The rods in the leading edge are plated on the web through with laser cut parts to eliminate stress concentrations, the risk of damage by abrasion and hard points.
Mylar cut to shape complement this construction to optimize the holding of the profile.
The innovative cutting (balloning 3D) of the leading edge, provides a remarkable surface.
Rods on the last set of lines transmit load it also contributes to good performance at low speed and improves glide ratio.
We have selected the best fabrics "Porcher Sport" and mix grades for optimum light without compromising durability.
- leading Edge Skytex 38 water-repellent,
- skytex 27 upper and down surface and intermediate ribs,
- ribs and X in Skytex 32 hard,
The implementation of this set of fabrics gives a rather light canopy , very durable and stable with ageing.
