Designer’s thoughts
“At this level, the one overriding concern is “can I win top-level
comps on this wing?” Only when I was certain that the answer
to this question was “yes” did we go for certication. But we
also wanted to make a competition glider that was a joy to y,
and we have succeeded. It is obviously not for everyone, but
in the right hands this is quite probably the greates paraglider
ever to have gone into mass production.”

Who is this glider
for?
The Gambit is a CCC class wing designed for
advanced pilots. The stability at top speed,
and the glide ratio, makes it the perfect wing
for world-class pilots with the goal to win big
events.
The pilot of this wing should be comfortable
with the advanced active ying techniques
of controlling a glider in active air, naturally
preventing pitch or roll movements. As with any
glider, we recommend constantly improving
your basic and advanced ying skills.
