BGD - ADAM SPOT

New

Easy, safe and controllable, the Adam Spot is our dedicated accuracy wing.

The Adam Spot is an EN / LTF-A wing, derived from the original Adam school wing. Its superb handling and great controllability make it ideal for accuracy flying, and the slow-speed behaviour is excellent. You can brake it to near the stall point, and it will descend as if in a parachutal stall. It is very controllable and easy to play around, going in and out of the parachutal zone with ease.

The Adam Spot is the choice of accuracy champions, and always well represented in the top scores at competitions. Current Paragliding Accuracy World Champion Yang Chen says: "The Adam is safe, stable, and with excellent handling. It is a master of all kinds of accuracy landing techniques – swoop landing, vertical landing, on-route landing etc, it helps in every way so that you can aim right on the target. This is my feeling and my comment on the Adam after over 30,000 take-offs and landings, flying more than a dozen of Adams".

TARGET

The target is the target! The Adam Spot is our specialised accuracy wing, for competitive pilots to hit the spot, time after time. It is very safe and uber controllable. As flown by Accuracy World Champion Chen Yang, who was the inspiration behind it.


DESIGNER'S NOTES

The Adam Spot is the original Adam, with a new colourful suit but the same ease of use and safety. The original Adam’s brief was “safe enough for your children to fly” and it is indeed the wing Bruce's children learned to fly on. It launches really easily, flies responsively and has the highest safety rating available. It was the first of BGD’s wings to have mini ribs on the trailing edge. Normally, large-celled paragliders without mini-ribs have a lot of billow near the trailing edge and around the brake fold. When this billow is folded down with a brake input everything gets pulled out of shape. Mini-ribs reduce the billow around the brake fold creating more responsive brake input and a cleaner brake fold. Spot-landing pro’s use this to their advantage, to land straight onto the spot, every time.
