Non-numerical Data

Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the ITV Tsampa. 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.



orange, white, gold leading edge




blue, white, yellow leading edge




A Good Book

Paragliding - A Pilot's Training Manual. Do you have at least a few hours of soaring experience under your belt? Keen to learn much more? This book will fill out your knowledge nicely. Just remember it doesn't take the place of your instructor!
