Construction


Flight from snowy mountain (November 2016)


Wing view in flight

In December 2016, Thierry made some modifications in the brakes of his proto BHL2 21 m2, which improve the performances of the wing in turn (allow tighter turns). The change affects the last five suspension lines of the high level of the brake lines. Thanks to Thierry for sharing this improvement.

LAB NOTE: Build a paraglider at home is a very complicated task (even simple skin), and requires many hours of work. Previous experience is required, and very inventive. As always remember that: The free flight implies risks that can only be known and they can be controled with a suitable formation on the part of a recognized school. Not test wings without knowing their functioning. The construction and test of experimental wings without certifying requires deep knowledge of what is being made.
