Ukrainian manufacturer Sky Country have announced a forthcoming new EN-A school paraglider, called the Muscat 3.
It replaces the Muscat 2, which had EN-B certification. They say it is a nice easy wing for school pilots, but is agile for its class, a trait that more experienced pilots will appreciate too.
The Muscat 3 has a modest aspect ratio of 4.8 and 39 cells, and ‘AirScoop’ technology that optimises the internal pressure at different angles of attack. It’s made from Skytex fabric with 20mm risers and sheathed Liros lines.
Six sizes are eventually planned for the Muscat 3, which will cover 60-145kg all-up.
The M size (80-110kg) has passed the EN-A flight tests (March 2016), with load tests pending, and the S (70-90kg) and L (95-120kg) will be the next to be certified.
