BGD Seed Ground Handling Paraglider

DescriptionGreat pilots were first great ground handlers. Learn to kite, grow your skills.InfoThe SEED is our affordable premier training paraglider, made for ground-handling only. The SEED was developed from the EN-B EPIC, and acts and feels like a full-size paraglider. It is made from durable 50g cloth and has three risers. It’s a fun accessory for parawaiting at take-off, practicing kiting, or just goofing around like Spiderman.Specs14Linear scaling factor0.78Projected area (m²)11.9Flat area (m²)14Glider weight (kg)2.7Total line length (m)194Height (m)5.3Number of main lines (A/B/C)3/4/3Cells31Flat aspect ratio4.4Projected aspect ratio3.2Root chord (m)2.2Flat span (m)7.9Projected span (m)6.3Trim speed (km/h)45Top speed (km/h)45Min sink (m/s)2Best glide5PPG weight range (kg)30-120Certification (EN/LTF)Ground HandlingTargetBlown out? Grab a SEED and refine your skills! Ground-handling is never a waste of time, even for professionals. You can learn essential skills that directly relate to in the air flying. Deflations, stalls, brake pressure and active piloting can all be practiced while kiting the SEED safely on the ground. Designer’s notesI kept the design of the SEED as simple as possible, while incorporating the most essential and up-to-date designs features. A strong shark nose, CCB, 3D panel shaping on the lower surface and countless other features make the SEED feel like a normal paraglider. I always say, “good ground-handlers make good pilots” and the SEED was produced to teach the most essential skills in a glider small enough to manage even in strong winds.MaterialTop surfaceDominico D30 42g/m²Bottom surfaceDominico D30 42g/m²Internal structureDominico D30 Hard 42g/m²Nose reinforcingPlastic wire 2,3mm and 2,7mmRisers13mm black Kevlar/nylon webbingTop linesLiros DSL – sheathed DyneemaMiddle linesLiros DSLLower linesEdelrid – sheathed KevlarBrakesLiros DSLINFERNOFORESTBLAZETUNDRASeedGround handlingm²1414
