Manufactured in composite materials paying special attention to the aerodynamics, this paramotor trike attracted admiring looks at the XXII meeting of Las Candelas in Spain, in early February. The Dynamic Energy offers a striking appearance with many thoughtful details...

We tested in-depth the new lightweight high EN B paraglider from the German manufacturer, which offers surprising performance along with high passive safety. Among its greatest qualities, we found very easy take-off, direct and effective handling, and great turning behavior to center any core, topped with stability and comfort in flight. Check out the details in this review.

With a remarkably agile and precise command, Bruce Goldsmith's new high EN B design is a wing with a great personality, ideal for freestyle and thermalling, as we confirmed in our test flights.
