Safety First . The U Prime was constructed to make your entry into the world of paragliding as easy and as safe as possible for you. You can trust it 100%, because it offers you a maximum of passive safety and it´s a pleasure to fly from the first moment. The U Prime is the perfect glider for beginners and occasional pilots.
Easy take off
The inflation and take-off phase is often considered as difficult and critical but with the U Prime it is so easy. We have worked hard to reduce weight which has resulted in improved inflation characteristics. At 4,5kg (Size S), the U Prime is one of the lightest LTF/EN A gliders on the market. The reduction of weight is achieved by the use of a new light and strong 38 g/m² D20 Dominico material for the top and bottom surfaces in combination with 42 g/m² D30 material for the leading edge. Nylon rods in the leading edge give the profile the perfect shape and reduce both weight and packing volume. Perfectly positioned Crossports ensure the best possible inflation of the glider. The take-off with the Prime is just pure fun.
Great flying pleasure with the highest safety margin
During flight, the U Prime achieves maximum passive safety from the interaction of numerous design features. Nylon rods in the leading edge, perfect positioned cell openings and crossports allow the ideal amount of air movement within the wing resulting in higher canopy stability across the entire speed range as well as in turbulent conditions. After countless tests and comparative flights we achieved the optimum line trim for the U Prime, resulting in great agility while still damping out swinging.
One for all
It may have forgiving characteristics, but the U Prime is much more than a pure beginner glider. Even pilots who have finished their training and would like to fly cross-country with a maximum of passive safety, will really enjoy the U Prime. The complex construction with diagonal V-ribs reduces line drag to a minimum. The outstanding glide and high top speed make the U Prime a serious proposition for cross country flying. The U Prime is truly a glider you can grow into; it’s the perfect glider while learning but will also take you so much further.
