Quad Reserve Chute Mount

admin — Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:15:39 +0000

Pilot awareness on the importance of flying with a reserve parachute is growing. With the increased demand for Velocity’s Ultra-Lite Reserve products, Velocity has finalized the prototype of a new reserve mounting system. This sleek, sporty design was engineered with strength, functionality, and versatility in mind.

Not only does it look fantastic, it was custom-designed to function perfectly with the Velocity Reserve Chutes, the BlackHawk LowBoy II Quad, and is easily adaptable to all other types of quads / trikes. This mount fits 1 1/8″ tubing – vinyl tubing can simply be used to make up a difference in size with frames other than BlackHawk’s standard size. If you have any questions about this product, compatibility, or instillation, our Team is always here to help!

The PowerFloat Flotation Device is a MUST for pilots who fly over or around water. In the rare case an emergency landing or reserve chute deployment is required, the PowerFloat System can save your life. Some Paragliding & Powered Paragliding harnesses on the market can be difficult to exit from, especially if you make an emergency water-landing. Pilots have lost their machines and even their lives in situations like this. The PowerFloat flotation device is designed to rapidly inflate in such a situation, keeping the pilot and their equipment from sinking to the bottom of a body of water. Featuring a non-invasive compact design, the PowerFloat System is easy to install, lightweight, and a small price to pay for the safety it offers. With more flotation than other models on the market, the PowerFloat can keep even the largest pilots or machines afloat.

PowerFloat Standard:

-The Standard size PowerFloat System is suited for single-passenger foot-launch Paramotor Pilots. This model comes standard with BOTH manual and automatic inflation. Price includes the appropriate size Co2 Cartridge.

PowerFloat XL Manual-Inflation:

-The XL Manual-Inflation PowerFloat is suitable for quads, trikes, tandem application, hang-gliders, and paragliding pilots. NOTE: This model inflates manually, and requires the pilot to trigger the device. Price includes the appropriate size Co2 Cartridge.

PowerFloat XL Auto-Inflation:

-The XL Auto-Inflation PowerFloat is suitable for quads, trikes, tandem application, hang-gliders, and paragliding pilots. NOTE: This model inflates automatically when the device is submerged in water. It can also be triggered manually if the pilot desires. Price includes the appropriate size Co2 Cartridge.
