Description
The Element is a prime example of versatility. Its design makes it attractive for training, demonstration jumps or as a canopy for those who do not necessarily want to venture into higher performance areas. Available in 180, 200, 220, 240, 260, 280 and 300 square foot sizes, it is the legitimate successor to our Balance, which has become a classic since its introduction in 1996 and is highly regarded far beyond the borders of this country.
Naturally, the Element carries on the outstanding genetics of the Balance. It is virtually stall free, has very good flaring dynamics and has no tendency to overshoot from a low brake position, helping to avoid unwanted landing accidents.
The basic shape is that of a double trapezoid, with most of the leading edge being straight and only the trailing edge having a slight to moderate sweep.
This ensures a directional stable opening with a light toggle pressure, as well as fun and controllability within the student’s ability.
The wide range of sizes available makes it easy for anyone to choose a wing load that suits their individual ability, experience and intended use.
