The Hydro is our new wing for entry the Speedflying world. This is a special wing that allows you not only to go down at amazing speeds any mountain, carving up the slopes doing rolls, swoops and radical turns, but also yo can fly it as any normal paragliders, since the glide ratio is excellent and soaring and thermal flying is a real possibility. The Hydro is a very dynamic wing. A combination of speed system and a long trim make possible low angle of attack that elongate the speed range without compromising the stability of the wing. The new profile used in this wing with the addition of a shark nose on the leading edge increases the inner pressure and adds stability absorbing the turbulence without difficulties. The flat and open vault also enables to fly faster and to make more powerful and radical turns and maneuvers. We have worked on a new brake system not only to transmit to the pilot any change in the air mass and in the angle of attack but we have also worked on a long travel to enable long flares in landing specially after making a roll or any radical turn. In short, the Hydro is a wing to start and discover Speedflying without hassles and be able to fly in strong wind and enjoy changes in height and speed.

Here you can download this glider's flight manual…
A printed version of this manual is bundled with the wing.
It includes lots of useful details and information about this glider, also the correct line diagrams for proper replacement.
Each and every wing has a checklist passed though our strict quality control in the factory. This includes line measurement, ground inflation and flight testing. If there was not the opportunity to test fly your glider before you received it then you should get your dealer, or an experienced pilot or qualified instructor, to test fly the glider for you before you fly it. Note that each glider has a unique sticker attached to the centre cell with the serial number, type of glider, size and weight range.
We recommend that your first flight on your new glider be on a gentle slope in calm conditions before making any further higher flights, just to check the glider completely and for you to get used to flying it. You should use the same class of harness, and restrict the width of the chest strap, according to the glider's certification as advised by the certification body.
For you own safety, we strongly recommend the use of back protection, helmet and Windtech WindSOS reserve.
