## Understanding your Adam Spot 2

Developed specifically for spot landing, the ADAM SPOT 2 combines forgiving EN/LTF-
A behaviour with control tailored to accuracy flying. Developed with World Champion
Yang Chen, it gives pilots more ways to manage speed and descent, keeping their 
focus on the target.

Compared with the original ADAM SPOT, it has a slower trim speed, making it easier
to slow down and drop straight down onto the pad. Light brake pressure, longer brake
travel and excellent low-speed stability give pilots room for fine adjustments on
final approach.

The biggest innovation is the addition of D-handles on the rear risers. Used together
with the brakes, they provide another way to reduce speed and lose height while 
maintaining stable pitch and roll. They also reduce arm fatigue on final approach,
helping pilots stay focused through those last crucial metres.

A four-line system and winglets support the wing’s stable low-speed behaviour. Everything
works together for one goal: right on target.

## Technology & features

### Baby A-riser

We have added a ‘big ears’ A riser which is also on a ½ ratio with the rest of the
A lines. This facilitates easy use of big ears while helping speed and stability
while on bar. The speed system is light and simple without reflex really helping
glide at speed.

### BGD Feedback/Handling

Gliders that talk are safer. Safer gliders make pilots perform better. Better performing
pilots fly further. Further flying pilots are happier pilots. BGD Feedback produces
happier pilots!

### Chord Cut Billow (CCB)

Chord Cut Billow technology has been developed to improve the form friction, glider
stability and overall performance of our paragliders. Two seams run chord-wise across
the top panels of the leading edge. They accommodate the panel ballooning that happens
when the wing is inflated. Without CCB, up to five centimetres of excess material
is created on the sides of an inflated flat panel when it bends over a wing profile.
This results in wrinkles. Chord Cut Billow technology removes this excess material
and the 3D panel has fewer ripples and improved rib profile shape and stability.

### D-Handles

D-handles give pilots direct control over the rear centre of the canopy. Used independently
or alongside the brakes, they expand your piloting options and help you get the 
most from the wing’s slow-speed capabilities.

### Excellent Controllability

The slow-speed behaviour is excellent. You can brake to near the stall point, and
it will descend as if in a parachutal stall. It is very controllable and easy to
play around, going in and out of the parachutal zone with ease.

### Elliptical Cell Openings

We have found that elliptical cell openings give better lower surface tension making
for smoother inflation, and re-inflation after collapses.

### Four risers

Four rows of risers maintain tension at the rear of the canopy for predictable near-
stall and deep-stall behaviour. A slower trim speed and greater acceleration through
the speed bar preserve the original ADAM SPOT’s top speed.

### Impeccable Spiral Behaviour

The spiral behaviour is astounding – spiral stability can be a problem with low 
aspect-ratio beginner wings, but we have tested the paraglider extensively, with
different inclinations and sink rates, and never, ever has it stayed in a spiral,
once! This is very unusual for a school glider and is a big safety bonus.

### Predictable Deep Stall

The Adam spot has a long, predictable brake range that progressively ramps up to
deep stall and full stall giving it the competitive edge during competitions.

### Snap Locks

BGD developed the first snaplocks for paragliding with Fidlock a decade ago. They
have been refined and improved over the years and have now been widely adopted in
the industry. A small focused magnet inside the catch with an internal locking system
holds the handles in place. They release only when the handles are pulled down towards
the pilot, so they don’t fall off while kiting, packing, or performing manoeuvres.

### Winglets

Winglets improve stability, reducing yaw movements and helping maintain a precise
heading.

## Designer’s notes

Accuracy flying demands careful management of speed, descent and direction right
up to touchdown. Our accuracy specialist Shun Hanada led the development of the 
ADAM SPOT 2, working closely with World Champion Yang Chen to refine its handling.

We reduced the trim speed and adjusted the brake settings to produce a more stable
descent while keeping brake pressure light. The longer brake travel works with the
four-line system to give excellent control at low speeds and predictable stall behaviour
for the final moments before touchdown.

The direction of the brake pull also makes a difference. Pulling outward produces
a stable descent and reduces speed; pulling inward gives quicker turns. This gives
pilots scope to adapt their inputs throughout the approach.The new D-handles expand
these options further. Used together with the brakes, they change the angle of attack
of the whole wing, allowing pilots to reduce speed and lose height without relying
on brake input alone to approach the stall. They also help stabilise pitch and roll,
with a feel similar to parakite control or rear-riser control on a two-liner.

This combined control reduces arm fatigue on final approach, helping pilots continue
managing their speed until the last moment while concentrating on the target. Pilots
who prefer to use the brakes alone can easily remove the D-handles.

The winglets contribute to stability both during acceleration and at low speeds,
helping pilots keep their attention where it matters: on the spot.

## Who is the Adam Spot 2 for?

From your first accuracy competition to the world podium, the ADAM SPOT 2 is dedicated
to spot-landing. It combines forgiving EN/LTF-A behaviour with the slow-speed handling
and range of control options needed to develop your accuracy skills.

## Custom colors & logos

Make it yours: every Adam Spot 2 can be built in a custom color scheme (+$400) or
with your own stuck-on or cut-in logo (quoted individually). Choose the option in
the color menu and we’ll work out the design with you. Production takes a minimum
of 4–5 weeks after artwork confirmation; custom wings are paid 100% in advance and

## Frequently asked questions

### Which size do I need?

Choose by your total take-off weight – your body weight plus about 15–20 kg (33–
44 lb) for wing, harness, reserve and gear:

 * **S:** 55-80 kg certified (121-176 lb)
 * **M:** 70-90 kg certified (154-198 lb)
 * **ML:** 80-100 kg certified (176-220 lb)
