    3. Technical Description The SYMPHONIA 2 has 50 cells across the entire wingspan, five of which are closed cells on the Stabilo. These form a very dimensionally stable and homogeneous wing. The profiles used combine high performance with very forgiving flight behavior.

    7. Target group The SYMPHONIA 2 can be safely flown by a very wide group of pilots. The very high performance of this wing does not make it easy for an absolute beginner to learn how to land. Somewhat advanced pilots or very talented beginners can enjoy this wing for a long time due to the easy, forgiving flight behavior and the very high performance.

    (and other equipment). If the SYMPHONIA 2 is flown in the lower half of the legal weight range, reduced agility can be expected. In strong turbulence a lower stability may be noticeable. The reaction on extreme maneuvers is very relaxed.

  • Page 7: Flying Turns

    3. Flying turns A turn is an interaction of inner brake, outer brake and weight shi ing. The art is the right dosage. The SYMPHONIA 2 is characterized by a sensitive handling. Small brake inputs are enough to fly precise turns.

    Then the g-forces increase rapidly and the leading edge will lean towards the ground. In a fully developed deep spiral, the leading edge is almost parallel to the ground. The maximum sink rate with the SYMPHONIA 2 can get up to 25m/s and more.

  • Page 9: Collapse

    50% of the span affected, the glider shows a more dynamic reaction: Due to the increased drag of the folded wing, the SYMPHONIA 2 will start to turn to the side of the collapse. At the same time, the glider pitches forward as a result of the smaller loaded wing surface and therefore higher wing load and needed airspeed.

  • Page 10: Parachute Stall

    A er a big collapse or a er a badly executed full stall, a part of the wing might be tangled up in the lines, and wonʼt reopen automatically. This is what you call a cravate. During our extensive test flights with the SYMPHONIA 2 we never experienced a cravate but this situation can not be eliminated for any paraglider.

  • Page 11: Speed System

    Connection with ball and loop: In flight, the SYMPHONIA 2 can now be accelerated by pushing the speed bar, which results in a reduction of the angle of attack and as a consequence an increase of airspeed. The speed increase compared to trim speed is about 15km/h.

  • Page 12: Flying With A Motor

    The SYMPHONIA 2has been tested with several powertrains with a maximum power of 20 KW Attention! When flying the SYMPHONIA 2 with a paramotor, the wing load is higher. Thus, the take-off and landing speed is increased, and the various maneuvers can present more dynamic reactions.

    Exceptions are the replacement of lines as well as the repair of small tears (up to 5 cm, which do not affect seams) or holes in the cloth, which can be repaired with the original PHI repair set. A small set of sticking cloth is supplied with the wing.

    G. Disposal The plastic materials used in a paraglider require proper disposal. Please return your used wing to PHI: it will be disassembled and disposed of by us. PHI, eine Marke der Papesh GmbH...
