performance
 

KARMA SP was extensively tested for freeflying as well as paramotor and its equally well suited to both - making it a great wing for paramotor lovers too.
Those of you who love Karma will love the SP even more.
The KARMA SP's overall behavior is perfectly tuned for motorised flight.
From easy nil wind inflation and launching to ultra-safe stability, the KARMA SP offers the ideal solution for paramotor schools and pilots - comes on request with purpose built risers with trimmers.

KARMA SP tested by EN and passed all test flights with flying colors -

The KARMA SP S sizewas awarded 153 A ratings and only 3 B ratings.
The KARMA SP M size was awarded 162 A ratings and only 2 B ratings.
For a glider of this performance and handling it is a remarkable result, especially when analysing the points which were B rated.

Both gliders received B rating at maximum weight for acheiving sink rate more than 14 m./sec. in 2 turns - a result which is a must for a glider with good handling and all beginner class good handling gliders are on the market rated B on this point.

The M size also was rated B for assymetric accelerated flight at maximum weight - due to extended speed range on the glider at top speed on assymetric collapse it may change the direction just over 90 degrees, but has very mild dumped out response behaviour, easy to handle for every novice pilot.

The S was awarded B ratings for Big Ear opening at minimum weight on trim and accelerated flight - reopening of Big Ears is spontaneous and even in just over 3 seconds which in our opinion is the way it should be as it allows for smooth, even hands free reopening of Big Ears and is to the pilot's advantage, even if formally rated B.

 

Color design

dressing up the KARMA SP - design continues the Karma motif, but offers a fresh, distinctive look.

 

		NEW FROM UP   THE KANTEGA XC     The Kantega XC was designed for intermediate pilots with a yearning for thermal- and XC adventures. Its forgiving nature coupled with very efficient thermalling characteristics, and its awe-inspiring glide at all speeds right up to the impressive 53km/h top speed, make it the perfect companion for everything from local flights up to long XC flights – both open distance and closed-circuit ones! The general consensus out there has always been that LTF 1-2 wings were good for local flights, and all right for downwind XC flying. However, the Kantega XC joins a very select club of intermediate wings offering the rare combination of high passive safety AND the good glide performance in accelerated flight so critically necessary for into-wind or cross wind gliding. In other words it is just what you need to complete that FAI triangle you have been working on all season, yet never too much of a handful for relaxed top-to-bottom glides.   We'll make sure to keep you all informed via the UP homepage www.up-paragliders.com
