SCEPTIC
Advanced paramotor wing for VERY experienced PPG pilots
Due to the bigger aspect ratio and the new profile, the Sceptic requires less thrust in horizontal flight than the Moscito-4 of small sizes. At the same time, the maximum speed is much higher – in a flight without engine we reached 83 km / h (Sceptic-17.5, 100 kg flight weight).
Take-off with a powerful engine is not a problem, landing in a zero wind requires attention and careful approach, in the presence of wind it’s not difficult.
Sceptic is good for slalom and convenient on the route – you can fly at a speed of 60 km / h without using an accelerator and with a relatively low fuel consumption.
Risers are equipped with a system that connects accelerator and trimmer – this allows the pilot to use the entire speed range of the paraglider, without being distracted by using trimmers.
Sceptic makes very high demands on the level of the pilot – we estimate a minimum experience of 200 hours, including at least one season on a less demanding paraglider of small size – for example Moscito-4-19 or 21 (depending on the weight of the pilot).
Vladimir Beliy took 2nd place in the Ukraine Championship 2017, flying Sceptic-17.5.
