Our Rogallo concept changed the scene forever, and the Beamer 1 still waits, ready for action, in many harnesses. In 2010 the Beamer 2 set another benchmark for steerable reserves. Its proven concept, new features, and improved qualities convincingly established the Beamer 2 in the market. The Beamer 3 builds on the best features of the Beamer 2. A completely redeveloped Beamer 3 riser system improves opening, operation, and installation – the success story continues!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tit\"\u003eThe top four Beamer 3 characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tit\"\u003eFast opening\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening time is the most important reserve criterion. If a reserve has to be thrown at a low altitude – and that is often the case – a single second can make all the difference. The Beamer 3’s special shape and particular folding technique help it open up to 50% faster than normal round canopies; the Beamer 3 is setting EN Test records.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tit\"\u003eLow sink speed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tit\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAssuming a reserve is open with its paraglider in a stable situation the next most important thing is sink speed. Low wing loading and modest forward speed give the Beamer 3 an unrivaled low sink rate. The EN certification authority has confirmed a sink rate of 3.9 m\/s at a maximum weight of 130 kg (without the paraglider). The additional braking effect of a paraglider reduces this value to less than 3m\/s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tit\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStable flight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen developing a Rogallo our main focus is how it works with the paraglider. After reserve opening the paraglider can stay attached (the usual emergency situation – no quick release\/cutaway). Here the Beamer 3 really plays its trump card and is far superior to the smaller models on the market in this respect. After a fast opening, the Beamer 3 quickly takes control. It goes into very slow forward flight and therefore does not encourage the paraglider to disturb it. The Beamer 3 achieves Its stability, among other things, by its low wing loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a special feature, we elected to further develop the braked opening configuration for the Rogallo – successfully applied to the Beamer 2. This results in even less forward speed and provides what most pilots need – the advantages of a round canopy’s vertical flightpath, plus those of a steerable forwards-flying Rogallo. For example, if the Beamer opens alongside a rock face, or in strong wind, its initial descent will be almost vertical. Then, after its steering lines have been activated, the Rogallo’s forward speed can be used. If the pilot has enough height he can then steer the Beamer 3 away from danger (e.g. rocks, water, buildings, etc.).\u003cbr\u003eThe braked opening configuration automatically includes another important effect: what is known as ‘downplaning’ is effectively prevented. This scissoring problem happens when paraglider and reserve (round canopies too) both develop forward speed while pulling against each other, and both head straight downwards. This raises the sink speed markedly, and the risk of injury dramatically. The Beamer 3’s pre-braking and its large area oppose this: the braked Rogallo surface refuses to be accelerated in this way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tit\"\u003eSteering and flying forwards – the Beamer’s speciality!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParaglider under tow: In real-life reserve-throwing situations the paraglider can become a massive problem. In many cases the paraglider is already collapsed, both during and after reserve opening, and therefore prevented from flying. Here the Beamer 3 descent is a pure pleasure. The canopy reacts immediately to steering commands and sinks at its slowest rate. When the reserve is thrown while the paraglider is flying normally, such as during SIV training, the descent characteristics of both Rogallo and round reserve can be affected. If the paraglider reopens itself during a reserve descent it can easily be prevented from flying by B-stall, or reefing in. This will greatly improve steerability. Countless examples in practice confirm the problem-free behavior of all Beamers in every possible situation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParaglider tangled up in the Rogallo lines: Here pilots with a cutaway system can fully appreciate the Beamer 3’s qualities. Glide performance doubles – with slightly increased sink speed. Cutaway carabiners mainly make sense in competition flying (more risk of collision) or for acro. A suitable seatbelt cutter, secured on a long bungee, would do the same job in an emergency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Adventure","offers":[{"title":"100 kg \/ Normal","offer_id":43105735278787,"sku":"","price":21000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 kg \/ Lightweight","offer_id":43105735311555,"sku":"","price":24000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 kg \/ Normal","offer_id":43105735344323,"sku":"","price":21000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 kg \/ Lightweight","offer_id":43105735377091,"sku":"","price":24000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"170 kg \/ Normal","offer_id":43105735409859,"sku":"","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"170 kg \/ Lightweight","offer_id":43105735442627,"sku":"","price":27000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/0075\/6675\/files\/beamer3packed.jpg?v=1712382824"},{"product_id":"izipizi-instrument-holder","title":"Izipizi - instrument holder","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Izipizi Harness Mount allows instruments to be attached to the flexible Izipizi metal bracket by means of a hook-and-loop fastener and mounted on the harness waist\/chest strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all instruments and instrument mounts with a suitable hook fastener strip on the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe angle can be adjusted by bending the flexible Izipizi metal bracket so that the instrument can be read optimally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe integrated bungee cord offers additional angle adjustment and mounting stability, useful for all instruments but especially heavier ones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine loops on both sides, so you can mount the bungee cord on the left or right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be mounted on the left or right said of the harness waist\/chest strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor webbing strap widths up to 40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"High Adventure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43106232664259,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/0075\/6675\/files\/izipizi-gurtzeughalterung-flex-winkel-mit-klett_1.jpg?v=1712392814"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0533\/0075\/6675\/collections\/HA-top.png?v=1720792078","url":"https:\/\/paraglideafrica.myshopify.com\/collections\/high-adventure.oembed","provider":"ParaglideAfrica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
