Triple Seven Q-light Paraglider

The Q-light is the ideal tool for long, difficult hike&fly adventures in remote mountain areas. Its high passive safety level in combination with a performance level that is way out of its class together means that you couldn’t find a better wing for such an endeavour. But as usual in these cases, if your own goals are less ambitious, and perhaps involve nothing more than being able to take your XC glider on trips where baggage weight and bulk is a concern, then the Q-light is again the ideal companion.

LIGHT...

The Q-light is the latest step in Triple Sevens' ongoing push to make lightweight versions of all their wings. Triple Seven's background for this push is the fact that the PG world is going LITE, something Triple Seven fully support, and Triple Seven want their product range to reflect that fact.

The Q-light inherits all of the design and flying characteristics of the Queen 2, but it does so in an even lighter, more agile package. In the air, you’ll be hard pushed to even notice the difference, but on launch and when you are walking towards it the difference is clear – this is a thoroughbred racehorse in a para-alpinist disguise. Use it for your own long-distance adventures, or use it like a Queen 2 that saves you some sweating whenever you carry it around!

RISERS

  • Webbing: Flat Dyneema 13 mm
  • Brake ring: Tylaska 4 (original)
  • Pulleys:4x Harken P18

When other paraglider manufacturers go Light, they often compromise user-friendliness in a number of ways, not least by using round risers made from Dyneema cord. These risers look and feel unfamiliar to most pilots, and are tricky to fit usable speed systems too. As a result, many pilots end up choosing the standard risers on their lightweight wings, because these are simply easier to live with and less intimidating to look at – but that means some of the weight saving is lost.
Triple Seven has decided to address this challenge in their usual uncompromising way; they sourced a flat Dyneema material that looks and feels almost exactly like the standard black Nylon webbing, is even stronger and also much lighter. With their lightweight risers made from this material, they have several advantages over the risers made from Dyneema cord:th.
