Now it’s here! The PI BI in one 37 m2 size weighs only 4.8 kg and has a takeoff weight range from 100 to 180 kg. This ADVANCE Light Tandem merges PI philosophy with the popular flying qualities of the BIBETA 6. Special: It’s not just the weight and volume; even the handling and agility of the light tandem remind one of a solo wing. The PI BI has three risers and trims, like the BIBETA 6, and is fitted with robust Edelrid Aramid lines. PI BI – dynamic flying fun for two. Despite its low weight and very small packed volume, similar to a solo wing, the PI BI is a fully-capable tandem wing with effective trims which give it a large speed range. This is made possible by a very compact build method and minimalist inner life. As well as the tandem certification the PI BI is also approved for solo flying.   ### Quick Facts * Weight: only 4.8 kg * Minimalist inner life for weight reduction and maximum compactness * BIBETA 6 takeoff and landing qualities * Large speed range and effective trims * Very small packed volume * New, light tandem spreaders including integrated reserve connection * Certified for Solo and Tandem use * Line layout and load tested up to 200 kg ### Advantages over single skins * Higher safety and larger speed range with the double sail * Very good flare behaviour when landing * More flying fun and dynamic * Substantially more performance ### Technical Data | PIBI | | 37 | | Flat surface | m2 | 37.2 | | Projected surface | m2 | 31.8 | | Recommended takeoff weight | kg | 100 – 180 | | Glider weight | kg | 4.8 | | Span | m | 14.2 | | Projected span | m | 11.4 | | Aspect ratio | | 5.4 | | Projected aspect ratio | | 4.1 | | Number of cells | | 53 | | Number of risers | | 3+1 | | Certification | | EN / LTF B | | Trimmers | | YES / 8 cm | ![Capture 8](http://paraglidingequipment.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Capture- 8.jpg "Advance PI BI Paraglider 1")   ### FEATURES AND OPTIONS ![65d9de124a large](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1501/7258/files/65d9de124a_large. png?v=1521988028 "Advance PI BI Paraglider 2") ### Light Spreaders The PI BI is delivered with a pair of light spreaders with reserve connection lines( 180 gm) and two FORAS carabiners (102 gm) as well as a COMPRESSBAG Light (150 gm). ![c3b166cd73 large](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1501/7258/files/c3b166cd73_large. jpg?v=1521988046 "Advance PI BI Paraglider 3")   ### Light Risers The PI BI three level risers are weight optimized and weigh only 345 gm.
