Paragliders, are flexible wings that suffers deformations in its factory settings very easily. The common and most important deformations are on the lines. With the use, temperature and humidity, some lines shrink and some lines stretch.
​
​This deformations can be very dangerous because the aerodinamics in Paragliders are very sensitive to small changes. Normally this deformations cause the glider to take a slow configuration, which makes it prone to Stalls, Spins and problems in the opening after collapses. Also affects the perfomance of the glider, reducing the Glide Ratio, Speed, thermalling performance and take-off control.

Sometimes, people confuses a glider out of trim with a porous wing, so they throw it away thinking the glider isn't airworthy anymore. With a Paraglider Trimming Service, you can extend the life of your wing with safety (If the porosity test turns out well).
​
​Paraglider Trimming is an essential service that gives you the warranty that your Paraglider will have the flying profile as brand new.
​
The benefits of performing this service are:
- Best glide ratio
- Best take-off control
- Highest speed
- Highest stability
- Greatest security
​
For this process, we use a highly precise Laser meter and rails which in combination, gives us a perfect measurement without errors.
First, the glider is completely measured, the information is analyzed in the software in search of measures out of tolerance, after that, the necessary corrections are made, then, the glider is completely measured again to assure that the glider is in the factory setup as new.
Periodically check your Paraglider, remember that your safety is the number one priority.
​
All our services include a maintenance certificate that is delivered when the equipment is returned to the customer, where you can see the information on the service performed, observations, and advice if necessary.
​
With this certificate, the resale value of the equipment also increases because the Client will sell the Paraglider in optimal condition.
SERVICE INTERVALS
Notes:
​
- This is a general service time interval, always refer to the glider's manual.
​
- After the service, depending on the results, we can suggest a different interval time.
