Top Gun Flight School

At iParaglide Top Gun Flight School, we take pride in having taught over 1900 paragliding students in our 26 years of operation.

We are the the longest running school based in Metro Vancouver. Due to our central location, we are the only school that flies all of the relevant kiting parks, training hills and mountains within a 3 hour radius of Vancouver.  This empowers pilots to get to know the key training and flying spots early, optimizes and accelerates learning, and allows them to grow into great future pilots.  

We have the reputation of being an industry leader with an emphasis on engineered safety systems, quality instruction, the finest equipment and a positive learning environment for fun and empowering flying.

We offer the highest level of accreditation, with Senior HPAC and Advanced USHPA paragliding instructors, who coach from first flight to expert paraglider pilots and teach and qualify new paragliding instructors.

Concertina Bag Purchase Inquiry  

ICARO has released an innovative concertina paraglider packing bag.  

The "concertina" method of folding a paraglider for transport or storage goes a step beyond the accordion method.   The mylar leading edge reinforcements of each cell are stacked flat on on top of the other, like a deck of cards, preventing creasing to the critical leading edge of your paraglider.  The leading edge is most vital for your paraglider's ease of inflation,  launch and speed-bar performance.

Concertina folding has the following advantages over traditional methods:

  • it can be done solo
  • it can be done in windy conditions
  • it can be done more quickly than traditional methods
  • it will improve performance, longevity and resale value of the paraglider
  • pack volume is the same as other methods; allows keeping the risers attached

ICARO's innovative concertina paraglider packing bag is made of light paraglider material that suits all solo paragliders.  The ICARO concertina bag features:

 

  • Velcro-pocket to secure the mylar cell leading edge 
  • Riser pocket for storing the risers
  • Compression belt for securing the glider
  • Lengthwise zipper
  • Cinch cord at the top and bottom
  • Velcro securing strap on exterior to secure folded assembly
  • Large logo print, color red & black
  • Size: 2800 cm x 55 cm
