- Description of EN B class wing characteristics: known it and offers the perfect balance between weight, performance SKIN 3 P with a high degree of passive safety and very forgiving flight and durability. A wing that can reach a higher speed and offers more fun characteristics.
The SKIN 3 P flies efficiently. It enters thermals with sufficient speed to fabric is more taut and crease-free. During the cutting, the optimal centre in the lift and climbs progressively. The handling is progressive orientation of the fabric section is selected, depending on its final and effective for even more flying pleasure under an exciting wing of location.

For the construction process of the SKIN 3 P we use the same criteria, The SKIN 3 P is packed following specific maintenance instructions as quality controls and manufacturing processes as in the rest of our range.
SKIN 3 P. The SKIN 3 P can be flown with all current harness types. We recommend setting the chest strap to the distance specified in the certification report - We recommend the whole installation procedure is supervised by a this will vary depending on size.

In “strong” winds, the SKIN 3 P is especially easy to control using this launch technique. Winds of 25 to 30 km/h are considered strong for paragliding.
This method will The SKIN 3 P has an excellent profile to deal with incidents; it is very keep the profile in its original shape and protect the integrity of the wing stable in all conditions and has a high degree of passive safety, even in over time.

6.1 TOWING A SKIN 3 P flying at its maximum rotating speed can reach –20 m/s, or The SKIN 3 P does not experience any problem whilst being towed. Only the equivalent of a 70 km/h vertical descent, and will stabilise in a spiral qualified winch personnel should handle the certified equipment to carry dive from 15m/s onwards.
Unsheathed lines provide increased performance, but this means more care should be taken when using and maintaining the wing. Although the SKIN 3 P was tested by expert acrobatic pilots in extreme situations, it was not designed for it. We do not recommend using this...
7.3 CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS terrain, wing load, etc. The SKIN 3 P must be periodically serviced. An inspection must be We refer to the so-called loops.
