SKY Paraliders
Materials:
Canopy
The French company Porcher Sport, which is part of the NVC GROUP, supplies the glider fabric. In the last two years Porcher Marine have been heavily involved in fabric development; creating new and more durable coatings which has led to a new generation of materials that came to be known as New Skytex.
The new coating is much more resistant to abrasion, humidity and is UV resistance.
All the upper panels and all the design pieces are produced of the Skytex 40 Deperlant (water-repellent coating) material by Porchers Sport. The leading edge (heavily loaded part of the glider) is manufactured of Skytex 45 Evolution with water based double sided coating. Bottom panels are manufactured of Skytex 40 with the Classic coating. Profiles and diagonals or diagonal segments are produced from Skytex 40 hard finish.
The fabric is manufactured using the “Rip Stop” weave structure, out of superpolyamid (PA 6.6) by the American firm DU PONT.
Line scheme
The lines on the FIDES 2 are of the highest quality and are supplied by the German firm EDELRID. These lines create high resistance from mechanical abrasion as well as a high degree of length stability.
The upper gallery of the line scheme (forks) is manufactured using the EDELRID lines 7550–080 (diameter 1 mm). The main lines are made of 7850–160 and 7850–200 (diameter 1,5 and 1,6 respectively). The core is made of “dyneema” and lines are covered by polyester sleeves.
Risers
The risers are made from 20 mm wide webbing, it is manufactured by our supplier MOUKA TIŠNOV. The suspension lines are connected to the risers by means of quick links (mailons); which come from the French supplier Maillon Rapide.
In 2007 Sky Paragliders company was certified as a 100% SKYTEX partner for Porcher Marine fabrics. That allows us to use the latest development benefits and share them with all our pilots. Also the certification ensures that the whole glider is made of the same material and that SKY PARAGLIDERS do not combine the best available quality of Porcher with any other materials available in the market.
FIDES 2 Evo
FIDES 2 Evo is the successor of FIDES 2. FIDES 2 Evo was redesigned, new, state of art materials are used, and the whole glider was certified according to EN 926 certification procedures.
Even though FIDES 2 Evo introduces the whole series of improvements (new wingtip, new material, new certification, new risers) we still decided to call it evolution (therefore evo) and not the new generation (which would make it FIDES 3). During the development the team led by Alexandre Paux of Switzerland managed to reach outstanding features that were also confirmed by the new EN certification methods…
The amazing glider is especially well suited for the professional schools (thanks to the new generation of SKYTEX usage on the leading edge), leisure time pilots who would like to enjoy maximum passive safety when coring the thermals at their occasional flying. Just check the manoeuvres and results of the procedures yourself: video – minimum weight , video – maximum weight
The main distinctive features are:
- High speed range (22–45 km/h)
- High stability with minimal front and side collapses
- If collapsed, the reopening is very smooth
- Easy take-off with no overshooting tendency
- Minimum pitching tendency even when regenerating from massive collapses
- Very stable in rough air
- Nice entering into the thermals with no losses due to the roll instability
- Very nice SKY handling
- Optimized for the ground practice
- High efficiency in the thermals
- Very low weight – only 4,8 kg (for the M size)
- New materials used
Each glider is delivered with:
- free Porter bag
- free T-shirt SKY TEAM
