Pro Design’s new tandem, the Amiga, is currently undergoing EN and LTF certification testing, which should be complete later this month.
The Amiga has been constructed in collaberation with several tandem pilots, and has been built to withstand thousands of launches without deterioration in its performance. This, plus its weight range of 120 – 220 kg and “balanced handling, moderate brake pressure and stable in-flight characteristics” will make the Amiga, Pro Design say, “the perfect tandem paraglider, especially for professional use”.
Construction-wise, the canopy has line attachements to the ribs on all A- and B- positions, giving the maximum shape retention of the nose section. Spit A-risers facilitate big ears and strong-wind launches and trimmers give the wing a greater speed range.
