PROTOTYPING & MISC

Diving into the heart of innovation at PG-Repair, we specialize in crafting custom gear for paragliding. Among our creations are tow winch release buckles and tailor-made ‘para’ drop chutes for tow lines. Our drop chutes boast a low vertical speed and an exceptional glide ratio. We’ve engineered these chutes to avoid one of the common hassles in paragliding winch towing: getting the drop chute stuck in tree tops. With our designs, that worry becomes a thing of the past.

In addition, we’ve also collaborated with Action Paragliding to design the Spiral Buddy. This tool is a game-changer for pilots performing spiral dives, a maneuver that subjects the pilot to high G-forces, which can lead to disorientation or blackout for those not accustomed to such intense conditions. The Spiral Buddy is a safety device that pilots carry with them, attached to the riser. It’s designed to automatically take the glider out of a spiral dive if the pilot loses control or consciousness, providing an essential safety net during these challenging maneuvers.

See in the video below our Spiral Buddy in action around the 16:40 mark.

Our commitment at PG-Repair extends beyond just repairs; we’re dedicated to enhancing the safety and performance of paragliding equipment through thoughtful innovation and collaboration. Whether it’s creating custom tow winch release buckles, designing drop chutes that avoid common pitfalls, or developing the Spiral Buddy for added safety during spiral dives, we’re here to support the paragliding community with cutting-edge solutions.
