an internal structure comprised of diagonals of different types, depending on the width
of the cell and an optimized line layout to reduce the overall number of lines.
This specifically designed paramotor wing has been reinforced in key areas of the wing,
especially at all of the attachment points on both the under-surface and the cell walls.
-- cloth
The upper and lower panels are made with 45 gr. Porcher Marine Skytex nylon. The ribs
are made with stronger nylon of to prevent airofoil deformation, even after several years
of intensive use. Rib (cell wall) reinforcements are made of Dacron 310
&180 gr. Line
attachment points are made of polyester.
-- lines
The KINETIK
PLUS
lines are made from the highest quality Kevlar, with a polyester outer
sheath to protect the inner Kevlar core from abrasion and UV. The main (lower cascade)
“A” and “B” lines are 2.2mm, rated at 240kg, and the main “C” and “D” lines, are 1.7mm.
-- risers
We have designed the KINETIK
PLUS
paramo-
tor riser system to help overcome the various
complexities that powered flight entails.
The risers are shorter than usual (42cm), to
allow for the different flying position and help
minimise the effects of the chassis of the
engine.
The construction and materials of the wing have
been made stronger, especially the stitching of
the main attachment points of the wing.
The big-ears can be operated with one hand
easily and without strain.
The travel of the webbing of the trimmers is
on a pulley system, which means a greatly
reduced chance that they will slip (a big prob-
lem with normal trimmers) in normal flight or
after a sudden shock or under high pressure,
such as a collapse or steep turn, offering a
greater amount of security with a very effec-
tive and easy to use system.
The ‘trimmers’ are used to set the ‘trim speed’
