Gin Vantage 3

For the discerning pilot, the intermediate classic glider from Gin designed for both PPG and PG. This paragliding and paramotor wing has outstanding launch/landing characteristics, great handling, and lift for days.

Notes from GIN test pilot Laurent Salinas:

“Our target with Matt Minyard was to bring the advantages of lightweight paragliding wings to beginner and intermediate paramotor pilots, especially pilots looking to practice paragliding and paramotoring with the same wing.

We felt it was important to make a wing with easy inflation and take-off. This helps a lot for light trike use and the lighter canopy is also ideal for bivouac flying.

We also worked a lot to achieve the right mix of security and agile, fun handling. The shorter risers help a lot with this and speed increases are easy to manage. Speed increase is provided by both the trimmers (40%) and the speed bar (60%) and you can use the full brake range in all flight configurations (trim, open trimmers, accelerated). We also significantly reduced the torque effect compared to the Vantage 2.

All in all, the wing put a smile on our faces and we are confident it will do the same for you!"

LIGHTWEIGHT MEETS PARAMOTOR

The Vantage 3 represents a new concept of paramotor wing: light but durable, easy but fun to fly. Ideal for bivouac flying, it’s perfect for beginning and intermediate paramotor pilots, and even as a confidence-inspiring wing for free flying.

The Vantage 3 offers several advantages over a conventional paramotor wing:

  • compact to pack and light to carry
  • easy inflation and rapid lift-off
  • intelligent mix of fabric for lightness and durability
  • easy thermalling in free flight mode
  • ideal for travelling, bivouac and light trike use

DETAILS

  • Second generation Equalized Pressure Technology (EPT) profile significantly improves stability across the entire speed range
  • 3 line risers, 2 lines spanwise for simplicity and performance
  • Easy Big Ears system
  • Extended weight range (24, 26 and 28 sizes) for flying at higher wing loadings
  • Combination of unsheathed and sheathed aramid and dyneema lines
  • Lightweight mini-ribs on the trailing edge

Is it for me?

Pilots who enjoy the Vantage 3 are typically pilots who started on a beginner classic wing and are looking for a little bit more performance (efficiency, speed, glide) but are still split between the great paragliding/paramotoring divide. Others have been flying PPG for some time, but want to branch out and discover free-flying while still having the versatility of a PPG-capable wing.
