Charly Diamond Cross Steerable Reserve

DIAMONDcross ST light   

The first steerable rescue system for absolutely everyone! Even with complete passivity of the pilot, it has no disadvantages compared to non-steerable reserves.

• Just like conventional cross canopies, the DIAMONDcross after opening initially enters a stall with vertical sinking. This reliably prevents a downplane position of the reserve.
• The S-shaped profile of the DIAMONDcross canopy provides a high righting moment and ensures that the paraglider is quickly unloaded and dives down. This prevents the risk of a stable shear position between the reserve and the paraglider, facilitates pulling in the paraglider and even allows the unhooking of one riser with Pinlock or conventional carabiners.
• Due to different line lengths, the base of the DIAMONDcross is fanned out in a zigzag pattern. This significantly accelerates the air intake into the canopy. However, it is associated with a substantially higher production effort.
• Effective reduction of the risk of of entanglements with the main glider: The lines of the DIAMONDcross are made longer, so that the canopy opens approximately in the radius of the main glider and not within reach of the paraglider lines.
• Soft Dyneema line material enables steering even with multiple twists.
• The inner container has been developed on the G-Force Trainer and features an extra compartment for the lines; it is available for both integrated and front containers.
• The ultra-fine woven and waterproof finished fabric allows minimal weight and packing volume with sufficient robustness.
• Although the packing method of the DIAMONDcross is slightly different from that of a conventional cross canopy, it does not involve more effort.
