The BEAT GOES ON! Here is the long awaited BEAT 2 and BEAT 2 light! You will experience the clearly better, more forgiving take off behaviour. You may immediately feel the better handling, higher agility, even more “defined” feedback. The playful ease with which you dance your way to the top of the thermalling pulk…

SCALA 2 light

The first SCALA 2 light have arrived! Sizes 18 and 19 have successfully passed the certification tests with an EN C classification. It’s not just the certification (SCALA 1 was EN D) that is different. We have improved and optimized many parameters: -wing airfoil and suspensions are different. -sail tension (ballooning) is new. -the entire…

TENOR 2 light

Here comes the TENOR 2 light! Same as the normal version, the light version lost weight compared to it’s already ultralight predecessor (even being slightly larger). The TENOR 2 light has around 200g less weight (depending on size). Again the whole wing is made of Skytex 27 double coated. The TENOR light was one of…

TENOR 2

The TENOR 2 is here! The TENOR 2 is a little larger than the first generation. In contrast to the first one, there are more differences between the sisters SYMPHONIA 2 and TENOR 2. The TENOR 2 has different line layout with less top lines (more diagonals), resulting in a little bit better performance. Even…

SYMPHONIA 2

Around 4.5 years ago we introduced a funny striped A class wing that cost as much as a High B glider. We then also communicated that this wing offers high B performance! -many competitors laughed at us! -all of them have lost their laughter by now… 🙂 Not only have we created a new class…

Our work is bearing fruit now!
We already had our new modular harness CABRIO certified a few weeks ago. But we were not satisfied with the protector test result of 26g / 26g: measured without rescue in it an with rescue in the compartment.
Even 50 is the limit asked by the norm, we wanted to reach the super good values below 20 we had in earlier tests.
Only a few harnesses on the market have vaules slightly under 20: check out the database at para-test.com.
So we went back to our workshop and investigated. Yesterday we repeated the test and were able to rech a new record: 16.5 / 15.5!

Glad to see some design work going to harness safety. How is the airbag surviving the reversible process, does it have Nitinol wires? I've seen a lot of reversible airbags not very functional after a year of use. And will the harness achieve those impressive G numbers without being pre inflated?

Well done ! Do the same with a coverleg + a tail, the rescue in the back with handle under the armpit, all below 3kg and i'll buy it !

Dear Hannes, dear Eugene, congrats on the amazing results! Thanks for setting safety as the first goal! When will the harness be on the european market?

Dear Hannes, Dear People A few weeks ago I bought a SOLA UL 16. I was looking for a glider with a small pack size and low weight because I travel and train with touringski in the wintertime (every minute counts). Of course the wing should have a good glide number to be able to carry me over the various hoist ropes! After around 20 flights, 16 of them with skis, I am very enthusiastic and very happy that I choose SOLA UL 16. Many thanks to Hannes and Team PHI for these optimized gliders!

Im working on the SOLA UL page: please check it out.
