Prima was born in the early 1990's. Since then thousands have been delivered, faithfully serving in paragliding schools all over the world.
Probably the longest produced classic trainer - it is equally well suited for teaching free flying and perfect for entry level paramotoring.
Now this classic wing has been modernised once again - the 3rd version of the wing has been released on the market. The wing is exactly the same as before, but has improved flare and adaptability for paramotor flying. The canopy is also more rigid (no tip movement), with redesigned, modern handling - direct and responsive in comparison with Prima II.
To refresh and distinguish, Prima III has been dressed in a new color design
The rest of Prima specifications remain the same. As always, produced from bomb proof, indestrucable Gelvenor cloth combined with heavy duty lines, to ensure long lasting life Many schools are amazed, unbelievably witnessing the years of service Prima can deliver. All this for a little cost - specially designed to be affordable for all. As a schooling/entry level glider it is still the best investment on the market.

Materials
The glider is made from tear resistant Ripstop Nylon cloth, which is P.U. coated to zero porosity and then siliconized to give the fabric high resistance to the elements. Different cloth is used for the top, bottom and ribs due to their different functions. The lines are made of superaramid covered with a polyester sheath for protection against UV, wear and abrasion. The bottom section of the brake lines is made of polyester because of its better mechanical properties. The karabiners that attach the lines to the risers are made of stainless steel.
