2011 April * mini-paraglider Sky Country is working on a mini paraglider: speed-glider/paraglider. It will be 18m wing with 4.5 aspect ratio. Perfect for speed-riding, speed-flying, ridge soaring in strong winds and just playing!
2011 April * review of a tandem speed glider DeScent-25 in Parapente Mag Test was done in Valfrejus, France. Fast and easy to control. It is highly recommended to be used by certified tandem instructors. pdf original article
2011 April * review of SCorpion3 EN 'C' in Parapente Mag highlights from the article: - A unique speed system. It is unusual for a serial class wing. It simultaneously lowers front risers and lifts D-riser, thus making the speed system more effective. - Leading edge has semi-circle air intakes, grouped by two. Every third section is closed. This design provides resistance to collapses, and pilot feels very secure in strong conditions. - Glider's behaviour is forgiving and it tempers abrupt breaks moves, leading to more smooth behaviour - Very nice and smooth thermal entering: no surges forward or back, just graduate feel of lift pdf original article
2011 April * DiSCovery-4 passed EN "B" DiSCovery-4 is an extension of a popular DiSCovery-3. The upper surface now is made of life tested Skytex-45, total lines length is reduced, flying performance and thermaling improved

Models

We understand that our customers come with diferent experience, learning curves and needs. Keeping this in mind we have aimed to design gliders in the following categories:

- BEGINNER (MuSCat-2)

- NOVICE, INTERMEDIATE, MOTOR (DiSCovery-3)

- INTERMEDIATE, CROSS COUNTRY, ACRO (SCorpion-3)

- HIGH PERFORMANCE (MyStiC-2)

- COMPETITION (Evolution)

- TANDEM (D3Bi)

Aspect ratios vary from 5.1 (classic beginners MuSCat) to 7.7 (our competition glider Evolution)

Material and features

We use only high-quality materials: durable Gelvenor and light SkyTex. Porcher Industries has been the main supplier. Along with the other leading manufactures we have started to combine 2 fabrics: the leading edge made of durable Gelvener, and the rest from Skytex. But if you are looking for the most lasting glider and don't mind to carry an extra pound or two, we suggest a full Gelvener body. Lines are manufactured by Cousin and Scientific Research Institute AUS (Feodosiya).

Certification and tests

Each serial paraglider model has been tested by EN. All Sky Country paraglider models are flown by our test pilots to check their flight behavior.

Custom made

You can custom design your own glider, personalizing not only color combination, but also you can select material type (Gelvener or/and Skytex), lines type (competition or regular), biners, locks, speed bar, and add some extra features if you wish. No extra charge, you would pay only for the difference in a material.
Colors: red, white, black, blue(light, deep), orange, yellow, green, grey See more colors at Porcher's site
