Charly

In spring 2011, Charly Produkte are planning to release their electric 'ascent aid' for paragliders to the market. They have sent us these videos to show how the project is coming along.

Charly's Capitan is an aerodynamic paraglider harness designed for pilots who do long cross country flights but prefer an open harness to a pod.

The Snaplock is a new lightweight and easy-to-use karabiner for paragliding from Finsterwalder & Charly. Despite being half the weight of a steel krab, it has an incredible 30 kN (3,000 kg) breaking strength.

Charly have launched speed pedals – these are designed to keep the speed bar resting against the harness and out of the way when launching
