Non-Numerical Data, from DHV
If numbers don't excite you, try this:| take off handling | average | | roll damping | average | | control travel | slight | | agility | average | | spiral dive entry | easy | | spiral dive exit | turn continues through 180 - 360 degrees | | landing behavior | average | | B-line stall entry | easy | | B-line stall recovery | spontaneous | | big ears entry | easy | | big ears recovery | not spontaneously |
All the above were recorded when this UP paraglider was flown at max weight.
Color Schemes
The simple graphics below represent the upper surface color schemes for the UP Trango 2. The lower surfaces have a silver leading edge and white trailing edge in each case. I hope this approach is useful for getting a good idea of the colors when quickly comparing wings. You might be able to get a detailed look at one of the color schemes from the manufacturer's picture further down this page.
orange leading edge, silver trailing edge
red leading edge, silver trailing edge
blue leading edge, silver trailing edge
yellow leading edge, silver trailing edge
silver leading edge, white trailing edge
