We\u00a0did\u00a0some nice\u00a0flights\u00a0with\u00a0the Jedi 2, an EN B<\/strong>\u00a0glider\u00a0with\u00a0aspect ratio of\u00a05.7 points,\u00a0made by\u00a0the French\u00a0manufacturer\u00a0ITV, which we\u00a0already\u00a0had the opportunity to try\u00a0some time\u00a0ago (Review\u00a0ITV Jedi 2 paraglider<\/a><\/strong>). But this time we tried the paramotor version<\/strong> with special\u00a0risers\u00a0for\u00a0motorized flight.\u00a0The Jedi 2\u00a0is a\u00a0wing\u00a0with\u00a0versatile personality, good\u00a0handling,\u00a0and great features for playful\u00a0flights\u00a0and also\u00a0for thermal\u00a0and\u00a0distance\u00a0flying, as it\u00a0offers\u00a0good\u00a0turning behaviour\u00a0and notable\u00a0performance\u00a0to\u00a0climb in\u00a0thermals\u00a0and\u00a0glide away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ITV is a French company with a long history in free flight, which in recent times h<\/span><\/span>as shown great strength and notoriety in the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Paramotor\u00a0<\/span><\/span>world as well, so it\u2019s\u00a0<\/span><\/span>not<\/span><\/span>\u00a0surprise that a free flying glider like this keeps favourable\u00a0<\/span><\/span>qualities\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to fly under power.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically,\u00a0we\u00a0did\u00a0four flights\u00a0with this\u00a0“Sangria” colour\u00a0Jedi 2 with paramotor risers. All nice and fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Inflation is harmonious; the glider inflates evenly, gains pressure and immediately rises above the head without any tendency to overshoot. The\u00a0takeoff\u00a0race is short and lift comes at a low speed, so it is an easy glider even for motor newbies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Positive and negative\u00a0trimmer\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n
\"ITV

The trimmers, which are the main novelty, are simple, well finished and very\u00a0strong, offering a\u00a0reassuring\u00a0feeling that they will never break. ITV’s brake\u00a0handles\u00a0are large and padded, as well as comfortable to hold even when you\u00a0have\u00a0the\u00a0motor throttle\u00a0in your hand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With these\u00a0risers\u00a0we can slow down or accelerate the\u00a0Jedi 2.\u00a0This feature is useful\u00a0as\u00a0sometimes we want to stroll at a\u00a0touch of gas, at minimum speed,\u00a0which we can easily do\u00a0taking advantage of\u00a0the\u00a0closed\u00a0trimmers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At other times it is good to open the trimmers a little for the take-off, for example, in zero wind conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Navigation, torque and speeds\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

The trimmers allow you to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>optimally\u00a0<\/span><\/span>adjust the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>angle of attack<\/span><\/span>\u00a0of the Jedi 2<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>navigate. In general, it is advisable to always release a couple of centimetres for the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>glider<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to gain penetration. Also, you can adjust the trimmers to compensate for the torque<\/span><\/span>\u00a0effect<\/span><\/span>. This system is the simplest of all, you don’t have alternative\u00a0<\/span><\/span>controls<\/span><\/span>\u00a0so it is a\u00a0<\/span><\/span>glider<\/span><\/span>\u00a0easy to understand and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>control<\/span><\/span>. The most novice in the Paramotor world will feel comfortable right away.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

At the time of navigating, if we\u00a0fully open\u00a0the trimmers\u00a0we can\u00a0go\u00a0from 40-41 to about 48<\/strong> kilometres per hour.\u00a0Then we have the\u00a0speed bar<\/strong>, which we had already tried in the free\u00a0flight\u00a0version and, in this\u00a0case, it\u00a0allows you to add about 7\u00a0km\/h<\/strong>. So, by using\u00a0trimmers and\u00a0speed bar\u00a0we can reach a speed of about 54-55\u00a0km\/h\u00a0with good feeling of performance, glide\u00a0and speed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a great paraglider for free and paramotor\u00a0flight, which offers easy\u00a0takeoff, good lift to fly at a\u00a0touch\u00a0of gas, and it is very easy to understand and handle. The speed range might not be very wide, but it is fully usable and conveys\u00a0100%\u00a0confidence.<\/p>\n

We must point out that although it is an accessible EN B wing, the Jedi 2 has a freestyle<\/strong> spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For this review I flew with two different power gears. On one hand, I used the new Airfer “Drone”<\/strong> paramotor equipped with Corsair Black Devil Light engine of\u00a0172cc with a\u00a0130cm Helix propeller. Then, I also flew with the Airfer Mustang Mini<\/strong>, a solo-tandem paratrike, loading a total of almost 190 kg in flight. The Polini Thor 250<\/strong> with a 150cm propeller worked totally at ease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
