sorg169 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Any idea what the deal is with this wing? I have one with a Sky data tag but Sky doesn't seem to support this wing. Is this thing for real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Well it aint here....http://www.para2000.org/wings/ So it could be a copy of something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pianoman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Isn't that what 'Dell' is claiming to be the fastest wing in the universe at the moment? Looks similar to the Blacklight Paraglider to me. Pianoman Sent from my iPad using PMC Forum mobile app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Just got this from a friend. The Dominator appears to be a K2 copy. Dell Shanze is reported to have a licence to produce the K2 now that Sly no longer do so. Where it is made or by whom no-one seems to know. It may be made by Sky for Dell or he may be passing it off as Sky because he has a licence. Whether it is a good wing or not is not easy to say without seeing it's build and checking it's flight character. The K2 is certainly a very good glider but even if it is made to the K2 pattern the line lengths may have been modified to re-trim it in some way so it could be a completely different character to the K2. I can find no record of any certification for it.so it is impossible to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 And the latest reply... Misha, at Sky, says they make it as OEM for Paraglider Mall (US inc) who own the design. Seems Dell has purchased the design of the K2 and Sky are making it for him. Provide he has not altered the line lengths or risers (beyond adding trimmers) it should perform just like a K2 with the same build quality and would be Afnor Standard so your man should have no worries if that really is the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 From Sky paragliders This wing is covered by certification of Cima K2. It should be clearly stated on the label and will be modified accordingly. All the best Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
