The new version of the lightest wing in the world!

Take-off

• the wing fills up and goes over the head without the pilot’s participation,
• you don’t have to lift the A risers or watch the brakes; just walk ahead and the wing will rise over your head by itself,
• it is easy to control, responds well to brakes and forgives a lot

Flight

• direct control is extremely intuitive
• the wing moves minimally overhead, but never shoots forward, returns to its normal position all by itself, without unpleasant swings,
• remains safe and stable at all times, even without the participation of a pilot,
• exiting the spiral: without the pilot’s intervention, it quickly returns to the correct position, with a very small jump in front of the pilot.

Landing

Run & Fly 2 can land with a flat flare. It is important to give it as much speed as possible during the final approach. Be careful though – if the pilot brakes too hard, the flare will not work.

Better glide ratio and visual qualities

The new method of calculating the canopy stresses proposed by the originator of the project, JB Chandelier, helped to minimize the amount of distortions occurring in the area of the  airfoil joints (3to1 technology). In this way, it was possible to slightly increase the glide ratio, as well as the visual qualities of the canopy.

New Materials

The leading edge of Run & Fly 2 is made of double-impregnated Porcher Sport fabric, which is more durable. Similarly, the main ribs are now made of Hard Finish 32.

Also the lines are changed. The colors of the lines depend on the row and gallery level. This makes the ground handling easier. The colored lines are also better visible against the rocks, from which pilots of our single-shell aircraft often take off.

Simplified risers

The base are tapes made in the same, linkless technology using durable Dyneema lines. This time, however, the lines were hidden in special, multifunctional covers.

Possibility to install a trimmer

Due to the fact that the pilots to whom the Run & Fly is addressed may often not be familiar with the operation of a trimmer in paragliders, the paraglider will be sold without it as standard. The trimmer can be purchased separately and installed by replacing one line on the risers. If you order a wing and a trimmer at the same time, it can be installed in our factory prior to shipment.

Functional transport bag

The special shape of the transport bag allows easy insertion of even a loosely folded wing, and the tapering walls will naturally compress the contents during packing. The closure is based on the well-known rolling system of the predecessor, with the difference that the plastic buckles are fastened on the sides of the bag. Thanks to this, the bag can be closed even when it is stuffed to the top with its contents. Rolling is facilitated by small holes on the sides that act as air vents. The size of the bag is selected so that it can accommodate both the wing and the Sit & Fly 260 harness, as most pilots never detach their harnesses from single-skin wings.

The bag will be available in two sizes: XS, designed for Run & Fly2 14 and 16, and S for 18 and 20.

Certification

As with our other special wings, we do not plan to fully certify Run & Fly 2 in flight. Although the wing is very safe, it is not a classic cross-country paraglider, but rather a fly-down wing. The design intent and single-skin construction make the results of classical EN / LTF tests most likely unreliable. However, a load test according to EN standards was performed, confirming the safety of use up to 105 kg of the take-off weight.
