UP Paragliders say that their new UP Kibo is a mid ENB wing which sits comfortably between the Makalu 4 (ENB-) and the Summit XC3 (ENB+), offering similar qualities of passive safety awarded to an ENA wing, but with a notable step up in terms of performance.
The Kibo is destined for leisure pilots who already feel comfortable flying in thermic conditions but who are looking to extend their experience to cross-country flying whilst remaining within the safety area of an ENB wing.
Available In four sizes the Kibo is available ranging from PTV 65-130kg.

The little App that just gets better…and better…
Flyskyhy is a paragliding App that turns your iPhone into a flight instrument and produces altitude, climb rate, ground speed angle glide… it also calculates the wind direction and strength amongst many other features. Created by Dutch pilot, René Dekker, the famous little App now has its very own website that explains all the existing features using simple visual instructions. Some of the other cool features to come are comp task optimisation and a thermaling screen. Also a NOTAM display, which will take some time to get right, says René, “But I’m working on it…What will come very soon is the BluFlyVario v.11 and major improvements to the waypoints functionality”, he tells us.
One of UK’s top XC pilots and para-blogger, Tim Pentreath, has been using the App ever since it was released three years ago and often demo’s some of the new features. Tim is also a regular contributor to the British Hang-Gliding and Paragliding Association (BHPA) magazine, and has written several articles on other techy GPS and Vario equipment out there, in his blog. He has used the Flyskyhy App for some time now, and says it is “possibly the best paragliding App in the world”. Try it!
