Advance Sigma 9 Paraglider: First Flight Review

Flybubble Paragliding flew the new sports class wing from Advance: the SIGMA 9. This is an EN-C class paraglider, intended for experienced pilots who regularly fly cross-country. Carlo says: "An easy, solid feeling XC wing with very good performance. I had a lot of fun flying it!" More info on the wing: http://shop.flybubble.co.uk/advance-s... The Sigma 9 is compact with reduced Aspect Ratio of 5.8 (from 6 on the Sigma 8), 0.75kg lighter, with new cloth and materials. Very easy ground handling, great for kiting back up the slope. The Sigma 9's handling is really precise with sharp, direct, relatively short brake travel. Brakes are firmer than the S8, but direct, with smaller range of movement. The turn initiation is great! The glider will tolerate deep brakes, useful for top landing and launch control. It has an impressive range of useable performance. Glide and glide at speed is competitive with current wings in the C class. The speed system is noticeably lighter than the Sigma 8; it's also noticeably more solid on full bar. The 27 lightly loaded (90-115 flown @ 95kg) feels steady, floaty, dampened, loose, calm, reassuring (it feels like a high end B). The 25 heavily loaded @ 94kg feels more agile, faster, more responsive, tighter, more dynamic, more energetic (it feels more like a low to mid C wing). The Flybubble Paragliding Channel aims to help you fly better. We produce regular instructional videos (Paraglider Safety, XC Secrets) and short First Flight Reviews.
