Flame

$2,500.00

Safe, fast, agile & responsive

The FLAME was developed under the concept of a no compromise speedwing. A durable wing with the glide and soaring potential of a paraglider, but the handling, roll and dive characteristics, and passive safety of a speed-wing.
The lessons learned in the development of some of the most iconic speedwings the industry has seen culminated into a new breed of wing in a category of its own.

The FLAME  maintains a flat glide at the closed trim position for long transitions or light wind soaring. Long and progressive brake travel provides confidence during launch and more advanced flight manoeuvres. Feedback is direct but not aggressive allowing for precise piloting during turbulence without overwhelming the pilot.

Flame Behaviour is similar to a traditional paraglider when flown trims closed making thermalling and XC flying achievable with a high margin of passive safety.

Fully releasing the trims of the FLAME significantly steepens the glide and increases speed. Pilot authority over the handling increases with design characteristics taken from our speedwings. 

The broad range presents an industry first in flight versatility. Flights requiring a mix of glide and agility, stability and responsiveness are now possible. Progressive and controllable dive, smoother energy retention and exceptional roll speed allow for precise handling even in the largest sizes.

FLAME IS A RESPONSIVE SPEEDWING

Short line length and long progressive brakes travel allow precision and handling reminiscent of significantly smaller wings. A no compromise approach to the handling enables safe piloting under a range of conditions.

FLAME SPEED-WING HAS A PASSIVE SAFETY

At Levelwings safety isn’t just about passive characteristics. We took our experience in high altitude mountaineering flights to evaluate all areas of a mini-wing that contribute to its safety. Giving you the confidence to fly from the worlds most demanding summits, to discovering untouched soaring locations.

FLAME IS OPTIMISED FOR TANGLE FREE LAUNCHES

For the most demanding of launches, including high alpinism, we wanted the launch the be as stress free as possible. For this reason we have used traditional nylon risers. Total line consumption is extremely low and optimised for tangle free launches. Extensive line testing and prototyping results in both light weight and reduced risk of knots and tangles.


FLAME MINIWING HAS LONG BRAKE RANGE

The FLAME and FLAME LIGHTs long brake range allows for precise piloting into tight landing sites or technical descents.It’s progressive travel responds to pilot inputs more intuitively, without dead spots in the brake range which is common on mini-wings.

Firm and reassuring pressure and feedback from the brakes prevents new pilots from over piloting the wing and allows experienced pilots to gain greater feedback from the wing and fly close to its flight limits with confidence.


FLAME SPEEDWING HAS STRONG COLLAPSE RESISTANCE

Profile and line layout have been optimised to provide incredible collapse resistance. We took our experience in developing some of the industries most iconic speed-wings to develop a profile giving the pilot complete confidence at all flight configurations.
