Description
Advance PI ULS Light Versatility Hike & Fly Paraglider
Thermal wing, hike & fly glider, and mini wing all in one: for over 14 years, the PI series has been the epitome of versatility and lightness. Now in its fourth generation, the PI offers a unique combination of minimal weight, maximum fun, and impressive performance. And it’s lighter than ever, available in a new size 14 starting at just 1.65 kg. Try all sizes now at your ADVANCE dealer.
Thermal Range
In the thermaling range of up to 4.5 kg/m2 projected wing loading the PI ULS with its well balanced canopy is easy to fly, offering maximum passive safety. In this range the PI ULS is suitable for beginners and leisure pilots.
Hike & Fly Range
The Hike & Fly range – projected wing loading between 4.5 and 5 kg/m2 – is the right choice for those who like to walk up with light equipment and have some dynamic fun on the flight down.
Mini Wing Range
In the Mini Wing Range with a projected wing loading of 5 kg/m2 and up, the PI ULS is clearly an action wing. It requires a very experienced pilot who flies actively and can sort out wing disturbances almost before they happen. The extremely compact wing is also suitable for Climb & Fly projects.
Range of use
Depending on its wing loading the PI ULS makes different demands on the pilot. The higher the loading the more challenging the flying characteristics and handling skill requirements become. Small wings are fundamentally more agile, lively, and demanding to fly, even when flown at their normal wing loadings. You can see the different piloting requirements as a function of wing loading in the adjacent table.
Technology & Features
ULTRA LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE
The heart of the PI ULS is the filigree internal structure, which was first developed for the OMEGA ULS. Benefitting from the experience of countless competitions, we have perfected maximum possible rib cut-outs (micro cross-ports) as well as the complex inner structure we call Sliced Diagonals. ULS also uses only the lightest materials including “Nitinol-Rods”.
High-end Nitinol Wires in all sizes
These ultra-light components are made from a super-elastic nickel-titanium alloy, and provide balanced, chordwise mass distribution from the leading edge across the wing upper surface. These rods significantly reduce both packed volume and overall weight, and resist deformation even under heavy loading.
Holding Pin Loops
To prevent the paraglider from slipping off in steep or slippery terrain (Snow), “Holding Pins” can be attached to the new loops on the PI ULS using a short string. To avoid damaging the paraglider, we recommend removing the “Holding Pins” before packing it up. “Holding Pins” are not included in the delivery package and you must arrange them yourself. We recommend eco-friendly golf tees.
HIGH-TECH EDELRID PRO DRY LINES
The PI ULS line set is extremely length-stable and retains above-average tensile strength, even after many flights. Unsheathed Pro Dry lines are colour-coded and 60% more water-repellent than previous-generation lines.
