Paramania Action GT Paraglider
![]() Intermediate / Performance
|
After countless prototypes and two years of experimenting Mike Campbell-Jones and the Paramania team finally found the perfect combination!
The Action GT is the ultimate dual purpose all in one wing for both powered and gliding flight. Aimed at pilots who have a good knowledge base of Paramotoring or Paragliding looking for top performance (speed and sink) and that legendary Reflex stability! Some of the world’s best competition, freestyle Paramotoring and Paragliding test pilots have nicknamed it the “The Bird” not just for its bird-like center section but more for it’s outstanding characteristics and the way it flies. |
The Action GT has lots of exciting new technology. To start with it has a highly sophisticated reflex aerofoil section. Which is carefully manipulated by a unique semi-ridged trim and intricate D-line gathering system. This gives the Action GT a truly awesome speed and performance range – 22kph min to 65kph Max!.
The centre keel and lines allow weight shift, without wing distortion whilst giving excellent directional stability and a stiff, controllable structure.This centre fuselage also re-directs the span wise airflow, reducing drag and further enhancing performance.
Inside the wing, the fabric engineering in the form of ribs with inclined oval holes, stress elevated load distribution and diagonal rib shaping, as opposed to panel shaping. Give a noticeable air of pure quality, as well as a super smooth top surface.
The double transversal bands at the rear of the wing help control the shape whilst the brakes move and gather the trailing edge. The result is handling which is smooth precise and efficient at all times while carving your way through the air.
