ESCORT-2 PLUS
Tandem paraglider created specially for flying with a passenger.
A Perfect choise for professionals
Having accumulated and analyzed a big amount of feedbacks about Escort paraglider of the first generation, we started creating a new tandem. The main Escort-2 difference from its predecessor is a considerably high glide ratio. We reached the improvement having increased the wing’s aspect ratio and optimized line’s system. Escort-2 prototypes were tested in Turkey and the Carpathians, and they have received positive pilots’ feedbacks. Escort-2 perfectly suits for flying with a motor trike. We produce a reinforced paraglider version for this purpose – with reinforced lines and additional canopy carcass.
Classic structure
We reworked Escort-2 in 2017 – now it has nylon rods on the leading edge and system, shortening trailing edge, when you apply brakes. Handling and take-off are now better! Escort-2 paraglider’s risers are equipped with a trimmer with a replaceable strap that can be changed after being damaged.
Certification
Escort-2-41 is certified in EN B class with opened and closed trimmers.
