Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Aerodyne Shaolin. I hope this approach is useful for getting a good idea of the colors when quickly comparing wings. Most paragliders have a basic wing color plus something different adorning the leading edge.



'Coco' - white with yellow leading edge




'Artic' - blue with silver leading edge




'Lapon' - gold with blue leading edge




'Rise' - yellow with white leading edge
