Description Brand: Advance Model: Epsilon 5 28 + Progress M + reserve
This is a complete set barely used.The pilot bought it and stopped flying. It is really in crispy new condition even if it was manufactured 2007 Wing :EPSILON 5 28 - More about...SIZE 28 76 KG to 106 KG (167.2 LBS to 233.2 LBS )Can be used with paramotor with convertible riser -- Not includedBehaviourThe EPSILON 5 is aimed primarily at occasional pilots with a preference for thermal flights and assists them in expanding their flying horizons. The balanced ADVANCE handling together with the wing's high intrinsic stability make lengthy thermal flights unadulterated pleasure. The excellent performance increases the appeal of the EPSILON 5 for pilots switching from a higher class. The enormous margin of passive safety means that the DHV 1-2 glider can also be flown by talented beginners. Outstanding features of the new EPSILON 5:excellent handling in thermal conditionshigh passive safetyhigh intrinsic stabilityflawless take-off characteristics good performance even in accelerated flightInnovationsImproved big ears systemThe EPSILON 5 now has separated A-risers to make the big ears manoeuvre easier. Thanks to the innovative Quick-Snap system, the risers are automatically separated only after take-off and joined together again on the ground, thereby facilitating ground handling.Designed with body size in mindThe EPSILON 5 is fitted with risers of different length depending on the canopy size, so that even small pilots can reach them at all times. The size of the brake handles also varies according to canopy size.Enhanced Speed & Performance Indicator (SPI)A Speed & Performance Indicator (SPI) attached to the D-risers now displays the current position on the polar curve and helps the pilot select the best flying speed.More efficient acceleration systemThe pretension ratio of the A, B and C levels has been precisely tailored to the profile by exhaustive calculations. This brings about an improvement in performance as well as canopy stability in accelerated flight. The latter makes it possible to exploit the entire speed range with the EPSILON 5, even in turbulent air. New line geometryThanks to a refined line geometry, it has been possible to reduce the intermediate line groups of the EPSILON 5 to two levels. The overall decrease in line length brings about a reduction in resistance and improves line control on the ground. During big ears, the new line geometry enables more extensive collapsing of the wingtips, with a significant improvement in the effectiveness of the manoeuvre.CertificationThe EPSILON 5 is certified according to DHV 1-2 requirements, with the speed system. EPSILON 5 - ParamotorThanks to its predictable take-off behaviour, high passive safety and great stability, the EPSILON 5 is ideally suited for powered paragliding. The 25, 28 and 31 sizes equipped with paramotor risers have been approved for powered flight by the German Ultralight Flying Association (DULV).Convertible risersThe EPSILON 5's paramotor risers are convertible and may be used both for powered and free flight. That's why the risers are provided with two mounting points, 10 cm apart, the higher point being intended for powered flight. The fitted trimmers enable the take-off behaviour to be optimised in light wind conditions and balance out the reactive torque of the paramotor. In addition, the flying speed can be adjusted at any time. For free flight, the trimmers can be clipped into the karabiner hooks and secured. Furthermore, the EPSILON 5 paramotor risers are equipped with a conventional speed system that enables a considerable increase in speed in normal flight. (see picture of risers)CertificationThe EPSILON 5 equipped with paramotor risers has DULV certification in unaccelerated flight for sizes 25, 28 and 31. The approved weight ranges can be seen in the table below. The DULV standard calls for a compatibility test for each paramotor model. The EPSILON 5's DHV certification is also valid for free flight with the paramotor risers, provided the canopy is hooked into the lower mounting point and the trimmers are secured and hooked in.Harness:Advance Progress M (barely used -- still have the sticker on it !)Reserve installed in harness
