Velvet

descrizione

 

Velvet: La velvet è un'unica vela da paramotore ed è stata progettata per un ampio raggio di piloti dall'intermedio al pilota avanzato che cerca un volare rilassato.

La VELVET è l’unica vela da paramotore che sia stata appositamente  progettata per un ampio range di piloti da un livello intermedio ad un livello avanzato, alla ricerca del volo rilassato. 

Molto intuitiva  e facile  in decollo, in atterraggio, con un alta stabilità ed una buona modulazione delle volcità , questi sono i punti che ci siamo prefissati durante la progettazione di questa vela. 

  

La forma ellittica  della vella ha un allungamento in piano di 5.5. Possiede 56 cassoni con incroci diagonali. La vela viene prodotta e fornita di serie con le bretelle ed i trims con 5 cm di range per la compensazione ( in negativo –2 cm per decelerare  ed in positivo +3 cm per accelerare la vela) inoltre le bretelle sono fornite di cavo separato per fare le orecchie. La velvet possiede freni leggeri e la loro pressione non stanca durante i lunghi voli, la pressione diventa progressivamente più sostenuta solo verso la fine della corsa dei freni  senza però togliere la sicurezza della stabilità della vela . La vela è resistente in aria dai tratti turbolenti e allontana i collassi grazie all’inserimento dei fogli refex-air. Questa caratteristica  dona eccellente e completamente stabilità a qualsiasi peso e a qualsiasi renge di velocità. La velvet può essere volata anche senza motore grazie ai suoi trimm può essere regolata sul negativo cosicché le performance per salire in termica sono identiche al livello di un parapendio normale.

La velvet è prodotta in standard con speciali freni leggeri con delle clips magnetiche e velcro. Grazie al velcro tutto diventa più semplice durante il decollo il volo e l’atterraggio . Il velcro lo abbiamo messo anche sulle orecchie della vela così d’avere accesso più facilmente ad una completa pulizia della vela , è bello poter rimuovere un po’ della sabbia o piccole pietroline dalla vela. 

 

La velvet può essere fornita con speciali bretelle promozionali che possiedono un trimm con  +9cm di range per avere più velocità . Ma montando queste bretelle PPG la vela non ha il Certificato EN.

La Velvet è disponibile in  tre misure e copre un totale di peso che va da un range di 70 a 150 kg.Per favore controlla tutti i dettagli nelle specifiche.

L’uso dell’alta qualità dei materiali ed una  costante, completa attenzione  sui controlli della produzione sviluppa una gradevole fama dei nostri prodotti. Noi siamo fieri di quest’ultimi.

   VELVET

“GORGEOUS”


Aerial magazine was privileged last November, to test a prototype of the Velvet, a glider produced by Mac Para Technology for release in early 2008.
With this semi reflex profile, the Czech producer will probably establish a strong market position quickly with this enjoyable and functional product. Easy to inflate, light on the brakes and dynamic on handling, the Velvet should seduce a majority of pilots, even though its certification is predicted to be in the intermediate category.  It’s the logical addition to the Eden and Spice models, already appreciated for their performance. It will be sold in three sizes, 23/26/29 with a weight range from 90Kg to 150Kg.

 Presentation

As usual Mac Para took their time; over a year, in order to produce a product with the brand’s usual abilities. Easy take-off, sweet landing and precise handling were required to join an expanding market.
Worked out to the tiniest detail, the Velvet has special PPG risers with thinner brake handles, designed to suit any type of machine. 6 cm long rear trims allow slower and faster flying, although most of today’s pilots might prefer longer ones. This short trimmer system is the result of a security concept within the homologation scales. Nevertheless, longer trimmers can be ordered, but pilots choosing this option will lose the security of EN certification. Nevertheless, the speed difference is obvious with the longer trimmers, and they will please a bunch of sport pilots.

 Inflation

A jewel! I must sincerely admit that this inflation is among the best!  The canopy climbs regularly and fast, without over-shooting.   In nil-wind, it is the best gift one could wish for. The Velvet’s profile is certainly not a pure reflex, and the take off is probably a positive consequence of this. As far as many PPG pilots have take-off difficulties, they will probably love this hybrid paraglider, in which they will find the best compromise.

The climb is fast and reliable. The gear was loaned to Sebastian Blanchon, a pilot from Lons-Le-Saunier, during the “Raid Maroc”, and he still has warm memories of his flight. After flying for almost 2 hours over sand dunes, he had to land due to his empty tank. He said being seduced with an intense smile. So was Ewald, a long-established pilot who knows the brand’s characteristics pretty well.

 In Flight


Having already flown the Eden and the Spice from Mac Para, I recognized the Brand’s usual touch. An agreeable feeling of safety; almost non-existent propeller-torque; precise handling; and reactive controls will satisfy most pilots. Spinning 360° and curves are happening, and backing to stable flight is being done naturally, with a good sight control due to the speed. Turns are easy without any tendency for collapse. Because we had no chance to fly in strong thermals during the tests, we can’t comment on the Velvet’s reliability in turbulence.

With factory homologated trims closed to the slowest speed, the Velvet reacts similarly to free flight paragliders: climbing in thermals and dynamic lift will be precise. Fuel will consequently be saved. With open trims, maximum speed is not as high as expected, that’s why the addition of non-homologated one’s should be considered.
Landing is soft and easy, with no need for big brake inputs.

 Conclusion

Mac Para has thought about everything for you. The Velvet is not a replica of others pure reflex profiles, and should be recommended to anyone, for their greatest pleasure.  Designed in three different sizes for a big weight range, its EN certification should only be an administrative job.

Like all new MAC PARA gliders the topsail is a mixture of materials with different coatings. The Velvet is manufactured using the paragliding industries well established lightweight material with excellent durability; Skytex 40, from Porcher Sport (NCV). Because for any glider, the part that always wears out first is the leading edge, we use Skytex 40 with double water repellent E77A coating for this. For less stressed parts of the sail we use Skytex 40 with E38A coating. For main ribs and diagonal ribs we use Skytex 40 with E29A “hard finish” coating. The different parts of the design are assembled to keep the cleanest canopy. 

Top lines are made from GIN Aramid/Kevlar TGL line-series of different diameters. The 5 point risers are are made from 25 mm polyester prestreched strap. The brake handles have magnetic clips, velcro and a swivel attached steering line.
