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.

Cyber TE $4,000 CAD  Paraglider Purchase Inquiry

 

A first paragliding wing has a demanding role to fulfill: to smooth out imprecise inputs to provide the very highest levels of passive safety; while maintaining performance headroom for the paraglider pilot to grow on. The all new Cyber TE goes a step beyond, incorporating the latest technologies from the performance class, enabling agile handling, great thermalling capacity, and a good glide.

The Cyber TE is a paraglider of choice not only as a first wing but for weekend pilots looking for maximum fun with maximum safety.  Recommended for pilots flying 30 air hours or less per year.  

Cyber TE's array of performance features not typically found on ENA paragliders:

Higher than the typical projected aspect ratio, for improved glide performance.

 

Mini-battens in the leading edge for improved launch characteristics and top speed performance.

Mini-ribs in the trailing edge for a crease free sail and improved handling.

Hybrid 3-liner with only 3 risers for improved glide and ease of sorting on launch.

 

 

V-rib & t-profile design, for line attachments only every two cells: reduces parasitic drag and improves sail tension.

Hybrid use of sail cloths of different weights in optimized areas resulting in a significant overall weight and pack volume reduction, near the mountain paraglider weight & bulk level.

 

Brake line tensioning system.

Special recreational pilot features including: clearly marked risers for Take-Off, Big Ears & B-Stall; and all main lines have the same length making it easy to check the trim.

 

 

 

 

Take-off and landings on the Cyber TE are pure pleasure. It rises without much force to the zenith and doesn't over shoot. The Cyber TE inspires with its modern profile and optimised canopy & line geometry, yielding agile handling and surprising performance typically only found on ENB paragliders.

Equipped with ICARO's patented TSO Trim Speed Optimizer Risers, the Cyber TE paraglider can be individually adjusted to optimize for pilots loading, aging or sub-zero temperatures. The Cyber TE will continue to fly at its optimum trim for years to come!    

Target Group

The ideal first glider and for pilots flying less than 30 hours per season. Recreational pilots will be empowered to mix it up with the aces in thermals, while flying stress free under a forgiving ENA paraglider. Combined with the Cyber TEs striking colors and elegant plan form reminiscent of intermediate paragliders: this wing is sure to take you from first flights through many great adventures.
