Description

SCOUT is the progression parakite. Designed to make flying feel natural, playful and incredibly fun from the very first session. Built to grow with your skills and keep you hooked.

The SCOUT is designed to build confidence from the very first launch and stay exciting as your skills grow. Its character is calm, predictable, and intuitive, exactly what you want when every flight counts. At the same time, the SCOUT is anything but limiting. Thanks to its smart winglet concept, the handling and roll behavior can be adapted to your flying style. When the winglets are zipped out, the wing feels noticeably calmer and more composed. Roll movements are reduced, reactions stay smooth, and the SCOUT delivers a reassuring, confidence‑building feel that helps you focus on clean inputs and safe decision‑making. Zip the winglets away, and the character changes instantly: the roll increases and the SCOUT turns into a more agile, playful wing that rewards active flying and growing skill. From launch to landing, the SCOUT is designed to make flying feel natural and intuitive. The SCOUT communicates clearly, forgives mistakes, and rewards good technique, without overwhelming the pilot. The SCOUT doesn’t define your level. It adapts to your journey.

The SCOUT is perfect for:

Soaring coastal cliffs & dunes
Dynamic terrain runs
Windy-day exploration

For pilots focused on progression, confidence, and skill development.

REFLEX PROFILE

The reflex profile keeps the wing stable at a low angle of attack and at full acceleration. The counter-arching pushes the trailing edge down and prevents a front stall. The reflex profile is essential for controlling and depowering your parakite.

KILLER MUSHROOM

The Killer Mushroom is the perfect tool to kill your SCOUT, it is connected on the B level and will stop your wing completely from generating any lift. The best emergency help when you are standing on the ground and the wind gets too strong and you want to bring your wing to the ground. Don't use while flying – please DON'T!

AUTOMATIC DRAINAGE SYSTEM

The Automatic Drainage System hides in the internal construction of our parakite. Dirt and small objects that got inside the wing slide automatically from the middle section to the wingtips. They exit the wing through two big holes at the trailing edge of the wingtips.

SHARK NOSE

The sharknose is a leading-edge design that improves the performance and stability of the SCOUT. It helps maintain the internal pressure more effectively across different angles of attack, leading to a wider speed range, better handling and stall resistance in varying wind conditions.

BEST TRIM LABELS

The FLARE SCOUT has its best glide ratio when you pull your brake handles (not the brake handle loop) slightly below the height of the L/R flags on the riser. This is your ‘best glide’ position.

RFS - RISER FIX SYSTEM

Our Riser Fix System is a rigid foil that is sewn at the lower sail's trailing edge and hides inside pockets. You can slide it through your riser loops to keep them perfectly organized when packing or unpacking your wing. It also prevents line tangling when packing or unpacking your wing. Together with the left and right "Best Trim" Labels starting your session will get much easier. Put the rigid foil back in the pockets when flying.

STABILO BRAKE ON THE WINGTIP

This feature adds a more effective 2D steering to the SCOUT "toolbox". This enables more precise turns by controlling both the main and stabilo (wingtip) brakes. A turn can be initiated by pulling the control handle toward you to engage the stabilo brake. For flat turns, start in the best glide position. Move the outside hand away from your body and bring the inside hand closer toward you.

NITINOL RIGID FOIL

Engineered for uncompromising stability and efficiency. The SCOUT’s rigid foil maintains its perfect shape in every condition while delivering maximum glide, precision, and control across the entire speed range.

ADAPTIVE WINGLETS

The SCOUT adapts to your flying style. Zippable winglets allow you to fine‑tune roll response, creating a calmer, more composed feel when deployed, or a more playful, agile character when zipped away.- PATENT PENDING -

TAKE-OFF WEIGHT

Choosing the right size is the most important step to get the best out of your FLARE experience. Our recommended take-off weight chart helps you match your total flying weight and intended use with the correct size. To support your decision, watch the "Sizes" video in our Academy section. The Take-Off-Weight Chart shows you how dynamically the wing reacts and which skill level it requires based on your take-off weight (at 0 wind speed).
