I love my BGD Magic! People told me "you don't want a student wing, you'll outgrow it too fast!" Yeah it's big and heavy but it feels great over me. I love just getting up and cruising around. Slower, high lift, docile wings are for me. I don't come down low and swoop and foot drag.
Very good explanation.. 👍👍👍.. I do not own any ozone wing but I actually believe them and their rating system much better than any other wing manufacturer.. my next wing when timea comes will be definitely a ozone wing..
Excellent video. Cheers chris. Are the EN rating certificates or test results available publicly. Like a list of al 23 tests for a particular wing and how it performed? Who is the company that actually carries out the certification?
I'm pretty sure Ozone has plenty of wings that work for both! I have the Ozone Roadster 3 which I believe the manual says can be used for either activity. EDIT: However, you may want to consider the weight as a factor. I have the 24m, but without the motor, I might be too light on that wing to paraglide safely.
Pretty much any EN A low B normal paraglider can be used with a motor, specially to learn since you're not going XC. But you could get a glider with trims, such as the mojo pwr or the kona. Also in my experience pilots who come from free flight have better ground handling skills, wich also translates into flight
The Ozone Kona 2 is perfect for this, and my choice often when I’m setting students up who plan to do both. It’s a power version of the popular Buzz. Super solid and stupidly lifty
@@jedironsidemccabe The Luna is AMAZING but sadly not legal to fly in the US without a pilot's license. I'd look at the Eco 2 Lite with the RMZ 500. We just got a new one in, it's legal and I love it!
Good video for the information part of ti, but I don't like the bias at all. I mean really, 2 specific wings mentioned in a video about how to choose the right wing? There are dozens and dozens of comparable wings, brands, choices, other factors like flying style plans, XC, PPG/PG use, multiple pilot use, altitude, windiness in your area, humidity, launch sites, etc, etc. this does NOT cover anything but 2 wings? me no like.
This is the video I was waiting for. I want an A. I dont want to speed. I want to stay alive.
@Dante Alighieri that’s what we all say at first… lol

Thanks Chris! Great description. This helps alot.
That easy to follow instruction helped a lot Chris. Thanks!
Thanks for the great info on wings Chris.
Good job! Very informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Simple video... just the info I was looking for..
Looking forward to training and flying with you guys! See you next month.
I’m a beginner and I have a spyder 3 (24m). I love it. It’s very easy to launch and feels safe in mile turbulence but it’s sporty and fun
I will keep this in mind

This has been great! I was wondering about whether you could find a “low” B to start on. Thank you.
Why are you saying the Spyder is EN-B rated when it only has DGAC?
Great video Chris!
Does glide ratio change as we move from A to D? For example do A wings have a higher glide ratio compared to D wings or is it the other way around?
Bob Diaz other way around! We’ll release our final video on this next week, more info to come!
@@aviator Thanks, I'll wait for the next video.
What EN categories did the Spyder fail, which pushed it into the B class rather than A?
Excellent video. Cheers chris.

adrian23483 yes! The test results are easily found on the web
Well done.
I would like to fly cross country as fast as possible. What is the best wing for this?
0000 0000 airplanes are the best for this! Truly :)
What if you wanted to start paragliding and then to paramotoring?

@@gorgo2 Everytone wants to XC tho and a lot of pilots stiock with an a or b and go across country all the time in fact for years.

Which size and type of wing would you recommend for a beginner trike pilot and why??? Cheers.
That all depends on your weight, equipment weight, and the elevation you're launching from.
Were looking at the Luna trike and the Ozone wing andParajet motor

We’re due to join SkySchool over in Spain in October to gain our pilots license if this pandemic goes.
I’m paralysed from the chest down so they’ve got their work cut out!!! Ha ha

That's why we have version 3 coming soon :) We wanted to share our opinions only :)
