ITV Piper
FASTER, FURTHER, DISCOVER THE PIPER!
A versatile high-performance wing targeting experienced PPG pilots looking for speed, accuracy and efficiency while maintaining a high level of passive safety.
The PIPER is an amalgam of new technologies and ITV know-how. Its light shark-nose and diagonal reinforcing ribs give it an excellent level of resistance against collapse in turbulent air. The PIPER is a comfortable feel-good glider in all flying conditions. The use of different materials, notably a lighter cloth on the intrados, enables the pilot to easily inflate and handle the glider.
A perfectly smooth top surface, combined with our new FULL REFLEX profile spanning over the entire length of the wing, provide the PIPER with an excellent glide sustained in all usable air masses. The PIPER’s assets are reflected in a significantly appreciated reduced fuel consumption.

Its impressive speed range remains fully exploitable in all conditions while featuring a constant valuable degree of passive safety. Its maximum air-speed will let pilots compete with and against the best wings in classic competitions.
The improvements brought to the breaking system give the PIPER a particularly efficient TST.
From leisure to competition adventures, the PIPER will delights pilots looking for long distance flights as well as those in love with local adventures or slalom flying. With a racy and sporty look, the PIPER is available in three standard colors. Call us for information about custom colors.
Without compromising at any level, the best available materials were chosen and used to assemble the PIPER. The fabrics are from Dominico and the fully sheathed lines from Elderid.
We could keep on talking about the PIPER for hours, but the best is still to try it!

INSTINCTIVE, TOLERANT, FUN WITH GREAT PERFORMANCE, THE DOLPO3 WILL DEFINITELY CONQUER YOUR HEART !
Moderne et robuste
The latest design generation, with an innovative internal structure, brings a 15% line length decrease and 28% less in the number of lines used when compared to the Dolpo 2, thus bringing less overall weight as a result. Consequently, untangling the lines becomes a lot easier during the pre-flight phase. The DOLPO 3 inflates smoothly without overflying the pilot for a safe takeoff.
Particular attention was paid to the choice of robust ripstop to ensure the extrados longevity. Lighter and more adapted material bring an exemplary cohesion to the overall glider assembly.

EASE OF USE AND EXCEPTIONAL SAFETY LEVEL!
The BOXER 2 was made for Powered Paragliding (PPG) beginners. Its modern design (ILT, 3D shaping, IRS)* and smart choices made by the R&D Dept., contribute to make it easy to untangle the lines and setup the glider. Indeed, 3 risers on each side, and 3 low lines per riser guarantee a trouble free handling of the wing.
The inflation does not require any abrupt gestures, or forceful accompaniment, because the BOXER 2 simply scoops the air and gently climbs overhead. It is much forgiving and will forgive the beginner pilot’s natural gesture approximation.
Once inflated, dampening of the wing is quickly and naturally buffered, only a slight pull on the toggles will be needed during the running phase to takeoff with a smooth gradual lift.
