Sting RS

STING RS – just fly!

Simply take an evening spin around and over your own house or let yourself be carried up to the clouds with the engine switched off after taking off in the flatlands – the STING RS makes your dreams come true!

The STING RS is a comfortable and simple dual-purpose paramotor wing that will accompany your flying career from training to licensed pleasure/XC pilot.

Due to its design, the STING RS is primarily suitable for foot launch.

But the STING RS also cuts a great figure on vacation in the mountains or on the coast with its excellent free-flight characteristics and paraglider type approval, allowing you to get started safely in thermal flying or coastal soaring.

Features

On paragliders with RAST, the inside of the canopy is divided into different (pressure) sections by one or more fabric panels, sometimes with valves at right angles to the direction of flight. This makes it possible to influence the airflow in the canopy. The mode of operation is comparable to a bulkhead, e.g. in tanks.

With RAST, the air equalization flows in the paraglider canopy can be regulated through defined openings. This applies both during inflation (launch) and deflation. In the event of pressure loss, e.g. caused by canopy malfunctions, the relative internal pressure of the CORE section increases, while the BUFFER section absorbs the energy introduced by deformation. Furthermore, RAST can be used as an additional stress level to the leading and trailing edge, which has a positive effect on flight comfort. As RAST connects the ribs over the entire profile height, the construction has a stiffening effect and reinforcements and/or stiffening elements can be saved or even completely replaced by this special construction method.

With the STING RS, RAST has been optimized for the following properties:

• Particularly easy and even winding behavior without a tendency to overshoot and without a tendency to lever out.
• Maximum stability and control even for less experienced pilots in turbulent air.

The accelerator travel can be limited in just a few simple steps, making the STING RS a fully trainable A-wing. After training, you can just as easily remove the speed limiter and enjoy the performance advantages of the B-Class. Professional pulleys with ball bearing improve even the longest gliding passages.

Nitinol is a high strength, temperature and corrosion resistant shape memory alloy. The name Nitinol is an acronym for Nickel Titanium Naval Ordnance Laboratory. SWING is one of the first paraglider manufacturers to use the material known from medical technology as nose reinforcement in paraglider construction.

In the STING RS, the Nitinol reinforcements are inserted into nylon tubes. This made it possible to increase the cross-section – and thus the contact surface for the topsail material – without having to forego the positive properties (buckling resistance, length and shape stability) of the memory material. The leading edge is therefore less susceptible to premature wear and remains dimensionally stable in the long term.

Ballooning at the trailing edge has a significant influence on the performance, control pressure and handling of the glider. Miniribs halve the cell spacing in this area and thus reduce ballooning for a homogeneous trailing edge.

The highlight:
The seams of the miniribs run on the inside of the upper sail so that no sewing threads can get caught on the ground and pulled out, even when launching on unfavorable ground.
