Sport 4 Paramotoring

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Airwave’s sport 4 has received the thumbs up for use as a paramotor wing: George Macak, a professional test pilot for paramotor wings, has test flown the Sport 4 with a paramotor and found the launch to be smooth and steady, the climb rate very good and the overall handling very nice. The glide and sink rate hands up with throttle down is said to be exceptionally good.

The production of this wing has now been increased to keep up with its high demand, and orders are now being dispatched twice weekly.

Mistral 5.24: up to 130 kg

A paramotor harness with trimmers will be available shortly from SWING for use with these models.
