Ultra light, ultra friendly
The P-LIGHT is a super light 2.8kg mini-wing, based on our Pawn school glider. It is designed for fun and ease of piloting in a wide range of conditions and places. It can be used in lots of different aerial playgrounds, like coastal soaring, Hike&Fly mountaineering, dynamic free flying and thermalling. The P-Light is also ideal for traveling. Although extremely light and with special 60g Dyneema risers, it still features a fully functional, usable speed system.
DESIGNER’S THOUGHTS
“The idea behind the P-light was to make a very light, multi purpose glider. I wanted a simple, back-to-the roots glider, which I could carry UP a mountain, any mountain, after work. As it turned out the wing became much more than that – loaded up it is also a fun, dynamic semi mini-wing that we have had lots of fun with on low coastal soaring sites”

WHO IS THIS GLIDER FOR?
We feel that the primary target group for the P-light is the dedicated para-alpinist looking for a light, safe and easy wing to bring them back down after technical ascents or exhilarating jogs in the mountains. But it is also a great wing to have in the quiver when that wind on the coast gets a little strong – break out the P-light and the fun may continue!
