Paragliding wing - vintage firebird matrix 1995 used would make a good trainer. Condition is "Used". Shipped with UPS.
I am the second owner of this wing. I flew it occasionally over 6 yrs. Both of us have kept it in cool dry places when it is not used generally Loosely packed. However it does have significant age although not that many hours in flight. I'm sure the porosity is not great but there are no tears in the canopy. one line needs to be reattached. I have flown it eit...her way but it would be obviously best to have that line replaced. Would make a great trainer or something to kite with and practice working with a wing that is not as nimble as the new ones! also fun for me though because I'm a bit lighter under this weight range so it was fun to boat around in, and actually handled remarkably well. Big ears reinflate fine and the main thing is just to bring it up at the right speed when launching. Definitely a different experience than the newer ones and a bit slower great trainer kite old and used, as is. No returns, enjoy this less expensive vintage experience!
