About the hobby GT
Designed for adrenaline seekers and professional acro pilots, hobby GT is the ultimate paraglider built to unleash your creativity in the sky. With its dynamic structure, high-performance materials and precise handling capabilities, it delivers a top-notch experience for both competitions and personal training sessions.
Precise control mechanics
Optimised wing design for seamless and sharp turns during acrobatic manoeuvres.
High durability
Cutting-edge, ultra-light and durable materials to withstand challenging conditions.
Stability and safety
A fast-response structure that ensures a safe yet thrilling flight experience.
Sleek design
Eye-catching colour options and an aerodynamic form that make you stand out in the sky.
Versatile use
Perfect for both professional pilots and advanced-level enthusiasts.
Choosing your size
During the testing phase of hobby GT, our focus was on delivering performance that allows pilots to execute advanced acro manoeuvres such as SS Infinity, McFly and Misty Flip with confidence. It has been tested with a wing load exceeding 6 kg/m².
What is the difference between hobby and hobby GT?
hobby GT and hobby share the same canopy design. hobby GT adds a closed 14-cell structure in the ear area and an integrated valve system, which makes high-level manoeuvres like Super Stall Infinity significantly smoother and easier to execute. It also has a specialised line set that maximises performance and precision.
Materials
Skytex 38 Universal fabric offers exceptional lightness and strength. Edelrid Kevlar lines provide high tensile strength and flexibility, for maximum safety and precision in flight.
iFLY TrimSense™
Precision should be intuitive. iFLY TrimSense™ is a refined trim verification concept that allows pilots to assess wing trim directly in the field, without tools and without complexity. By engineering the A1, B1, C1 and D1 lines with identical reference lengths, TrimSense™ enables a simple visual comparison. Any deviation between these lines instantly reveals a shift in trim. What was once a workshop procedure becomes a natural part of pre-flight.
