Color Schemes

The simple graphics below represent the color schemes for the Trekking Rando. 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 another color adorning the leading edge, so the Rando's a bit different. As far as I know, only the first design below has an all-white lower surface. The rest are the same on upper and lower surfaces.

red with yellow rim pattern, white lower surface

all pink

all blue

all purple

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!
