Non-Numerical Data, from DHV

If numbers don't excite you, try this:

roll damping average
control travel average
agility average
spiral dive entry easy
spiral dive exit turn continues through < 180
landing behavior easy
B-line stall entry easy
B-line stall recovery delayed acceleration < 4 sec

All the above were recorded when this Mac Para paraglider was flown at max weight.

purple, red center bit, yellow leading edge

light blue, black center bit, red leading edge

red, black center bit, gray leading edge

yellow, red center bit, blue leading edge
