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.

Purchase Inquiry Price Quote (Click Here): Swing Arcus RS Lite Paraglider

The ARCUS RS LITE paraglider is the weight-optimised version of the popular ARCUS RS (click for details).

The name ARCUS generates high expectations. It is linked inseparably with SWING and stands for a revolutionary paraglider design, which has given many thousands of paraglider pilots a safe and easy introduction into our captivating sport over a period of nearly 20 years.

With a combination of 27 g and 32 g fabrics, and a weight-saving design for the interior, it is aimed at vol-biv pilots, safety-conscious hike & fly and XC pilots, as well as globe-trotters who are looking for a versatile paraglider which is lightweight and has a small pack volume.

The ARCUS RS LITE is up to 1,100 g lighter and, by using the RAST System, it loses none of its reactiveness and accuracy, but retains its stability and performance which would otherwise only be achieved by many cells.

Discover the unparalleled lightness of flying with the ARCUS RS Lite!

Combined with the Connect Reverse 3 convertible harness and the Escape rescue parachute, you have all the equipment needed for everyday use with an overall weight starting from less than 9 kg (ARCUS RS LITE XS in combination with Connect Reverse 3 M and Escape M), which does not place any particular demands on pilots.

These features are all an invitation to experimentation and further development. Be inspired by a test flight on the ARCUS RS Lite and experience the new RAST feeling!


Dyneema-Risers

The optional Dyneema risers make your Arcus RS Lite now even lighter!
